Why use "he has" when listing the organizations that someone has worked for?

See the bold (note that he no longer works for any of these organizations and therefore it might seem like the past tense is appropriate):

Pitasanna Shanmugathas has a master’s degree in global affairs from the Munk School of Global Affairs—he’s worked for Save the Children, Science for Peace, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace, and STAND Canada.

That's simply because working for those organizations forms part of his work experience that he can use or make use of in his present or future job. It affects both his present and his future career.
