The first cohort of the NIOA Group and Engineers Australia’s Engineering Workforce Credentials (EWC) partnership have received their chartership at a ceremony at NIOA's headquarters in Brisbane.
The EWC program provides a structured and supported pathway to internationally-recognised credentialing, including advancing engineers to become chartered engineers, fellow members or engineering executive members.
“The engineering discipline is at the forefront of technological innovation, an essential instrument of resilience and therefore our deterrence strategy,” NIOA Australia and New Zealand General Manager – Engineering, Rudi Bekker said.
“To build sovereign capability we must also build workforce capability. The EWC is a testament to NIOA’s commitment to ensuring the highest standards of defence sector excellence and driving forward the future of engineering," he added.
“By partnering with Engineers Australia, NIOA is investing in their engineers' future,” said the CEO of Engineers Australia Romilly Madew .
