    Defence industry leaders welcome new software engineering apprentices

    South Australian defence industry leaders have welcomed the first cohort of software engineering students who are beginning an Australian-first degree apprenticeship.

    Following the formal declaration by the SA Skills Commission of the Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) as a trade under the South Australian Skills Act 2008, the degree apprenticeship will support the growing defence sector, ahead of the construction of nuclear-powered AUKUS submarines.

    This is the first time in Australia that apprentices who successfully complete their studies will receive a degree qualification as part of an apprenticeship.
