The Minister Assisting the Minister for Defence Bruce Billson today announced approval of $2.8 million in Australian Government funding through the Defence Materiel Organisation to support a major company-wide training inititiative for Tenix Defence under the Australian Government’s Skilling Australia’s Defence Industry (SADI) program.
Mr Billson said with SADI support, Tenix Defence will grow and supplement its training programs over the next three years in five key program areas, including project management, systems engineering, process improvement, career development and technical operations.
“These areas cover 26 distinct courses or training programs, some already existing, others proposed based on expected work challenges and opportunities, across all divisions of Tenix Defence: Marine, Land, Aerospace and Electronic Systems,” he said.
Tenix Group Managing Director Paul Salteri said the SADI program demonstrated Tenix Defence’s commitment to developing and retaining the skills needed to deliver the industry outcomes expected by the Australian Defence Force.
The program will provide more than 4,500 training places across Tenix Defence over three years. Tenix Defence has committed $12.6 million to the skill-building program.
Mr Salteri said the SADI program will build on the company’s existing programs covering graduates, apprentices and professional engineers and project managers, and make a major contribution to up-skilling Australian Defence industry.
Mr Billson said the Australian Government was committed to supporting the ADF with world class equipment, and creating a robust local Defence industry with a strong, growing skills base.
