Students Gain Insight into Defence Industry

06.07.18

Kildare College Year 10 student Meera was presented with her Certificate of Completion in the Defence Industry Pathways Program at the end of Term 2. The course provided an introduction to computer aided design and engineering, and gave an insight into naval architecture and engineering jobs within the Defence Industry.

As part of the course, Meera designed and 3D printed scale models of a Collins Class Submarine and Air Warfare Destroyer and had the opportunity to visit the vessel recently commissioned by the Australian Navy which had been constructed at the ASC Manufacturing Base in Osborne.

Meera combined highly technical VET with her regular Year 10 studies, attending tafeSA, Regency Park, one day a week for 20 weeks. This has provided her with a range of career options, which she had previously not considered. 

Year 10 student Amatullah has successfully completed the application and interview process and will begin her DIPP course at the start of Term 3. She will also gain SACE credits as she works alongside other Year 10 and 11 students, continuing to explore the range of non-traditional career paths open for women.
