Now in its fourth year, the ADM STEM in Defence Summit is a cornerstone event that brings together Defence, defence industry and education to discuss the future of the Defence workforce.
What the Defence Force will look like in the future and how industry, education and Defence work together to achieve this is the core focus of the Summit. We will explore:
- Defence Force recruiting and skilling
- Building a Defence Force for the information era
- The role of cyber and artificial intelligence
- Industry and government engagement with educational institutions to develop attractive career pathways
- What a successful STEM program looks like for Defence and defence industry
- Attracting and retaining diverse talent and Australia’s brightest minds
- Raising the profile of trades and vocations, particularly in the shipbuilding context
- Keeping Defence and industry at the forefront of innovation
Join us as ADM hosts this integral event aiming to strengthen resolve, cultivate relationships and take exciting next steps to deliver a future-ready, STEM-skilled Defence workforce.
