Adam Nickoll is a retired veteran who Working Spirit helped find a job at MACA Mining as a dump truck driver.
Adam joined the ADF in 1986, first serving with Sydney’s 3RAR parachute battalion before later moving into clerical work. He worked for the ADF for 20 years before retiring.
After leaving the ADF, Adam struggled to find work in the civilian world and at his lowest point found himself out of work and out of money, living in a tent in bushland south-east of Perth.
He enrolled in several courses to qualify himself and applied for countless jobs. But none of the applications were successful, and soon all of his funds had dried up.
With the assistance of Working Spirit, Adam was able to find employment within only days. He has now been happily and successfully employed with MACA Mining for since October 2019.
MACA Mining has continued to use Working Spirit’s services to hire other dedicated and hard-working veterans.
