The development of the plan was led by the Defence Teaming Centre through extensive input by industry and in collaboration with the Department of Further Education, Employment Science and Technology, Defence SA, Department of Education and Children's Services and higher education.
The Plan proposes four strategies and a range of outcomes and actions to take full advantage of increased defence investment and take us confidently into the future, building on South Australia's reputation as the nation's 'Defence State'.
The four strategies are:
Develop and sustain industry leadership and engagement with workforce planning and skills development
Improve the industry's ability to attract and recruit a highly skilled workforce
Assist the defence industry to retain an adaptable and diverse workforce
Develop and promote industry led school to VET to higher education pathways
