Engineers Australia partners with Defence in an Australian first
26 March 2018
Engineers Australia:
Engineers Australia will accredit and register
Senior Defence aerospace technicians and engineers in an exciting new
partnership with the
Australian Defence Force.
The arrangement sees EA cement its strong relationship with
Defence to
accredit and register Professional Engineers, Technologists and
Associates across Army, RAAF, and Navy.
Engineers Australia CEO Peter McIntyre says the new Defence Engineers
and Senior Technician Agreement is an exciting first for both
organisations.
"The agreed professional accreditation arrangement will cover off
leadership, management and technical skills and for the first time will
accredit Defence personnel against a global benchmark."
"It’s a highest standard system for recognising competencies in
Leadership and Management and other technical areas of practice as set
by EA.
"We are very pleased to be working with Defence on this," Mr McIntyre
said.
The Agreement will initially cover around 1,400 defence personnel with
additional personnel to be added in the near future.
The new Defence Engineers and Senior Technician agreement will see
Defence acknowledge Engineers Australia at technical conferences,
courses, presentations, workshops and in promotional documents.
