The Industry Collaboration award, sponsored by Hessel Group, recognises collaborations driving exemplary skills development between at least one employer/industry body and at least one organisation delivering nationally recognised vocational education and training.
This industry collaboration recognises that large scale projects like the Hunter Class Frigate Program play a catalytic role in accelerating the growth of sovereign advanced manufacturing – propelling the ongoing growth of the Defence industry in Australia, with spill-overs to other sectors.
