Introduction

The Defence Industry Pathways Program (DIPP) is a 12-month traineeship, providing graduates with exposure to several fields prior to deciding on a maritime defence pathway for the future.

From technical engineering and cybersecurity through to logistics and procurement, graduates earn as they train on-the-job, getting first-hand experience with global leaders. Programmed is proud to support the Australian Government and South Metropolitan TAFE in delivering this innovative program.

Benefits of DIPP Certification

The Certificate III in Defence Industry Pathways qualification differs from other trade pathways as students can complete units of competency across various defence support industries. This exposes trainees to fields not typically associated with Defence, but also to roles that are in high demand.

The qualification covers a range of areas including manufacturing and engineering, computing, logistics, cyber-security, procurement, technical drawing and computer aided drawing.
