Naval Shipbuilding College Information

The NSC is central to Australia’s new naval shipbuilding age We are supporting the Australian Government’s vision for a more secure nation. A vision that is contingent on people power: on land and at sea. The Government is embarking on its largest ever peacetime investment in Australia’s naval fleet. But ships and submarines do not build themselves. They are built by everyday achievers performing extraordinary work. Hard workers working shoulder to shoulder with the naval industry to deliver highly advanced defence technology. People who believe in success resulting from shared goals. People who believe that a collaborative, cohesive and community-minded team is the only team that is capable of doing and finishing the job. The NSC is pivotal to bringing Australia’s ‘doers’ together and shaping a naval industry workforce underpinned by reliability and quality. We do this by demonstrating how diverse, and long-lasting, a cutting edge career in naval shipbuilding can be. We can see the future because we have the technology to know where today’s job opportunities are and where tomorrow’s will be. We use our expertise and experience to identify, develop and educate Australia’s builders, thinkers, strategists and designers. And we connect them with the defence companies charged with delivering naval fleets. Our focus is on today. And tomorrow. We guide future generations of shipbuilding workers by charting the career pathways they can pursue. The NSC does not subscribe to the notion that there is one job for life. We believe in a career for life. Careers that are born from embracing exciting opportunities. Our job is to pinpoint these opportunities and identify the talent who can rise to the challenge. We understand the employment possibilities of naval shipbuilding. And the opportunities that exist on water and home soil are as open and vast as the ocean itself.
