South Metropolitan TAFE WA in partnership with AIDN WA, City of Cockburn, and Programmed, invites local businesses and industry representatives to attend the “South Metropolitan TAFE WA Defence Industry Uplift Forum”.

Western Australia’s defence industry is expanding rapidly, creating significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to become part of the defence supply chain.

This forum will provide an opportunity to learn more about the defence industry sector, build workforce capability, and connect with industry partners to position your business for future opportunities.

This event will be particularly relevant for SMEs interested in entering or expanding within the defence supply chain.

Attendees will hear from industry representatives, explore workforce development opportunities, and connect with businesses across the defence ecosystem.
