The Defence Industry Pathways Program (DIPP) is a semester length VET course which focuses on advanced manufacturing and design.
The course was designed in collaboration with the Maritime Skills Centre and ASC Shipbuilding to educate students in CAD Design and 3D printing so that they can develop skills that will allow future employment in the defence industries. Entry into the DIPP is competitive, with only 14 students accepted across the state per semester. Students must write an application letter and then, if invited, be interviewed by prospective lecturers.
We are delighted to congratulate Isabella Oswald, Year 10 student who is now the fourth consecutive Kildare student to participate and successfully graduate from the program.
