The new Joint Technical Trades and Training Services contract, starting in November this year, supports the development of qualified and experienced personnel where they live and work in Australia.
More than 100 accredited and non-accredited courses will be delivered for the construction, engineering, mechanical, electrical, and electronics trades for the benefit of more than 2,000 students per year.
Navy’s Commodore of Training, John Stavridis, said the continued development of a highly-skilled workforce is critical to achieving workforce goals and supporting our people.
“For the first time, trade-specific training will be delivered flexibly where and when it is needed. It will expand to support the growth of the Australian Defence Force and importantly, will be rolled out across a number of locations to take the training to our people,” CDRE Stavridis said.
Army’s Director General of Training and Doctrine, Brigadier Glenn Ryan, said the new partnership is an important step towards an integrated ADF.
“The partnership with TAFE Wodonga has been set up with the future in mind, focused on preparing our people for a rich and rewarding career in the ADF.”
