Nova Systems' two-year graduate program is designed to nurture and develop the next generation while also providing opportunities to gain exposure to a vast range of projects across the company's defence, geospatial and essential services.
Nova Systems’ chief people officer, Shelley Willsmore, explained the importance of engaging bright young minds as a vital part of developing the next-generation workforce needed to fulfil the future needs of Australia’s defence industry.
“Fostering young talent is vital to ensure Australia has the highly skilled workforce needed to keep our nation safe and secure. Defence industry provides a wealth of opportunities for young people to develop careers in meaningful work and the demand for talent is as high as it’s ever been,” Willsmore explained.
This year’s graduates include an almost 50–50 gender split, made up primarily of engineers, with graduates located at sites across Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, and Newcastle, with 147 graduates joining the program since it began in 2016.
Building on this, Nova Systems was ranked number 2 in a list of Australia’s top defence and aerospace graduate employers in a list compiled by Prosple, with Nova coming in at number 60 overall.
Willsmore added, “We hear from our graduates that our people-oriented culture makes Nova Systems attractive. They love the flexibility and being able to work on a diverse range of complex projects supported by experienced and passionate consultants.”
Nova Systems is a 100 per cent Australian-owned and controlled engineering services and technology solutions company and operates across five core markets – defence, essential services, government, special missions, and commercial aerospace – employing more than 850 people across offices in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Singapore, and Norway.
