Western Australia Develops Skilled Defence Industry Professionals
The Cook Labor Government is supporting the development of Western Australia’s defence industry workforce through an Educator Professional Development Day at the Indian Ocean Defence and Security event. The program brings together educators, industry experts, and education leaders to explore emerging career opportunities in the defence and national security sectors. Participants engage in hands-on workshops, access practical resources, and gain insight into student perspectives on defence industry careers. This initiative is part of the broader IODS Careers Program, which supports workforce development and positions Western Australia to meet national defence priorities, as reported by Mirage News.
