Career Pathway

The On Course Foundation Career Pathway is the process through which we help injured Service personnel move from military service to civilian life.

Once members have a good level of competence as defined by the five-level programme and demonstrated a desire to pursue a work experience placement, OCF works with the individual’s Personnel Recovery Officer (PRO) and the Defence Employment Opportunities Team to find a work-experience placement suited to the individuals interests/preferences.

During an injured Service personnel’s recovery, he/she will attend a final medical board, which decides whether the individual will stay in the military, or discharged on medical grounds. In the event of discharge, we will work with the individual’s Special Employment Consultant to facilitate employment in the golf industry.

Veterans are afforded the same work placement opportunities and deal directly with OCF.

Although members will not be given any special treatment when it comes to job opportunities, we can open the door for jobs and work experience roles that help members to secure employment on their own merit We can offer work placements and job opportunities with a range of employers in the golfing industry and with golf related businesses such as:

• golf club management
• greenkeeping
• tournament operations
• marketing, sales and administration
• golf club equipment sales and manufacture

We want the golfing industry and other businesses closely connected to golf to get behind this initiative. If you or your company have suitable work experience and/or employment opportunities, please contact us.
