After a 13 year career as a first responder, former Campbelltown police officer Michelle Glasgow left the police force.
Following her departure, Ms Glasgow took part in the Beyond the Badge career transition program, which led to a leadership position at a women’s domestic violence support service.
“I really struggled with what to do following the police force,’’ Ms Glasgow said.
“Beyond the Badge played a vital role in rebuilding my confidence and helping me harness the skills I had earned and apply them in a new setting outside the police force,” says Ms Glasgow.
Now, for the first time, the Beyond the Badge career transition program will be held right here in Macarthur for local responders who have retired or looking for a change of pace.
Three of the regions’ leading venue operators, Wests Group Macarthur, Ingleburn RSL and Campbelltown Catholic Club have joined forces with Beyond the Badge to offer the program locally.
They clubs have collectively donated $22,500 through the Clubgrants program to fund the next three day career transition program for first responders on February 1, 2022.
The program is open to current and former police, ambulance, fire and rescue and corrections personnel who live in and around the Macarthur region.
Wests League Club in Leumeah, Ingleburn RSL and Campbelltown Catholic Club will be the venues for the program.
Sean Haran, co-founder of Beyond the Badge and passionate first responder advocate expressed her gratitude to the three clubs for their support.
“This is an incredibly worthy cause, and we feel very strongly about taking care of those that have spent a career taking care of others,’’ says Wests Group Macarthur chief executive officer Daniel Perkiss.
