The Defence Teaming Centre and Engineers Australia are collaborating to offer graduate engineers a professional development program to pave the way for their participation in opportunities on the horizon in the Defence sector.
The Defence Graduate Learning Program is an 18-month self-paced course that equips graduate engineers with the skills they need to thrive in the complex world of Defence and will be of value to graduate engineers representing small, medium, large and even Defence primes.
The self-paced program begins on September 12th this year and Engineers Australia will be hosting a webinar on July 17 to offer more insight on the program and its contents.
Through the program, engineers will gain essential knowledge and critical insights into the structure of Defence, the strategic environment and capability development and procurement to enhance their ability to contribute effectively to Defence related projects and initiatives.
This is an opportunity for small and medium engineering businesses, not just those already in the Defence industry, to equip their graduate engineers with the vital knowledge they require to participate in the incredible opportunities that lie ahead,” said the CEO of the Defence Teaming Centre Libby Day.
The program offers in-depth insight into the sector and its capability requirements as well as that of the ADF whilst also explaining government and agency roles, the politics of Defence and innovation pathways.
