Bluerydge Signs Soldier On Platinum Pledge: Strengthening Veteran Employment and Support

 

Bluerydge has officially signed the Soldier On Platinum Pledge, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to supporting veterans and their families. As a veteran-founded company, we understand the unique skills, leadership, and operational expertise that former Defence personnel bring to the workforce. This pledge solidifies our mission to create career pathways, foster veteran-friendly workplaces, and provide meaningful employment opportunities.

 

What is the Soldier On Pledge?

 

The Soldier On Pledge is a national initiative designed to encourage organisations to actively support veterans and their families as they transition into civilian careers. It promotes:

 

  • Veteran-friendly recruitment and retention strategies.

  • Training and professional development opportunities tailored to Defence personnel.

  • Supportive workplace cultures that recognise military experience.

     

As a Platinum Pledge Partner, Bluerydge goes beyond signing a commitment—we are actively implementing policies, programs, and initiatives that help veterans secure long-term, fulfilling careers.

 

Bluerydge’s Commitment to Veteran Employment

 

Our approach to veteran support is practical, structured, and mission-focused. We are integrating:

 

1. Veteran-Supportive Recruitment & Retention

 

  • Actively hiring veterans into cybersecurity, technology, and leadership roles.

  • Providing career transition assistance to help Defence personnel translate military skills into civilian careers.

  • Ensuring long-term retention through mentoring and leadership development.

     

2. Training & Upskilling for Future-Ready Careers

 

  • Industry certifications and specialised training programs to equip veterans with high-demand cybersecurity and technology skills.

  • Access to professional development pathways, including courses in Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP), and emerging digital skills.

     

3. A Strong Veteran Workplace Culture

 

  • Leadership programs tailored to leveraging military experience in corporate environments.

  • Flexible working arrangements to support Defence families and transitioning personnel.

  • A community-driven culture that values discipline, problem-solving, and mission execution—key attributes veterans bring to the workplace.

     

Why This Matters

 

Transitioning from military to civilian careers can be challenging, but with the right support, veterans thrive in leadership, cybersecurity, and strategic roles. At Bluerydge, we are not just offering jobs—we are building careers.

 

Veterans bring:

 

  • Proven leadership and decision-making skills

  • Operational excellence and problem-solving expertise

  • A mission-first mindset that drives results

 

By bridging the gap between military and civilian employment, Bluerydge ensures that our Defence personnel and their families have the support they need for a secure and fulfilling future.

 

Looking Ahead

 

Signing the Soldier On Platinum Pledge is just the beginning. Bluerydge remains committed to supporting veterans beyond recruitment—through long-term career development, training, and workplace culture initiatives.

 

As we expand our veteran hiring and training programs, we encourage other organisations to recognise the immense value veterans bring to the workforce.

 

We thank Soldier On for their leadership in veteran employment initiatives and look forward to continuing our collaboration to create meaningful career opportunities.

 

At Bluerydge, mission success depends on the strength of our people—and we are proud to stand behind those who have served.
