Event description

AIDN QLD DEFENCE INDUSTRY MICRO-CREDENTIALING PROGRAM

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Australian Industry and Defence Network (AIDN) Queensland Defence Industry Capability Edge (DICE) Micro-Credentialling Program is a strategic partnership between the Queensland Government, AIDN and AIDN member organisations to enhance Defence Industry business acumen and workforce skills to align with the new Sovereign Defence Industrial Priorities, evolving National Strategy and emerging AUKUS opportunities.

In February 2024, the Federal Government released the Defence Industry Development Strategy (DIDS) to detail its industry development priorities to meet dynamic strategic needs in “the most challenging geopolitical circumstances” since the Second World War. The DIDs introduced 7 new Strategic Defence Industry Priorities (SDIPs) which represent the industrial capabilities Defence requires in Australia.

This project will use subject matter experts to decode and unpack these strategic documents and teach skills to identify business opportunities across the 5 Defence Domains, impart digital skills to align business processes and systems to Defence needs and build business resilience nationally and internationally. Our goal is to help Australian Defence Industry remain capable, resilient, competitive and innovative into the future.

This project is driven by Australian Defence Industry need to align to the National Defence Strategy 2024 (NDS) and deliver SDIPs aligned to the budgets and timeframes outlined in the Integrated Investment Plan (IIP). The first 4 micro-credential courses offered in this series are:

  • Align your Business to Sovereign Defence Industrial Priorities (SDIPs);
  • Business Resilience for Defence Industry;
  • Optimising Digital Processes for Defence Industry;
  • Defence Industry Security, Cybersecurity and DISP.

These courses are facilitated by some of Australia’s most experienced practitioners in these fields, based on successful business principles and Defence Industry best practice.
