The Defence Industry Pathways Program or DIPP is a semester length VET course which focuses on advanced manufacturing and design. The course was designed in collaboration with the Maritime Skills Centre and ASC Shipbuilding to educate students in CAD Design and 3D printing so that they can develop skills that will allow future employment in the defence industries.
Entry into the DIPP is competitive, with only 14 students accepted across the state per semester. Students must write an application letter and then, if invited, be interviewed by prospective lecturers.
We acknowledged Amatullah Mansurwala and Mackenzie Dowling for their successful completion of this very important skill-building course. Certificates were presented by Dana Wortley, Member for Torrens at our Awards Assembly.
Congratulations on behalf of the Kildare College community and we look forward to seeing where your future career pathway takes you.
