Australia’s civilian defence industry employs around 28,000 people in a wide variety of occupations and is critical to supporting Australia’s strategic defence capabilities.
The South Australian Government is making it easier for university students to enter a career in the state’s growing defence industry with the Defence Industry Connection Program.
Up to 300 South Australian university students can make industry connections, participate in internships and gain work experience with defence primes and businesses in the defence supply chain. Delivered by the Australian Industry Group, the $3.9 million program is now welcoming registrations from eligible university students and interested host companies.
This program will provide interns with a scholarship, reducing the financial barriers students may experience undertaking work placements and gaining practical and professional experience while studying.
Students must be engaged in meaningful learning and not in productive work, in accordance with Fair Work rules.
Placements must be located in South Australia, with an eligible host company in South Australia’s defence industry.
