The global defence prime and the training services provider have signed a collaboration agreement.
Engineers Australia has been tapped by Northrop Grumman Australia (NGA) to support the professionalisation of its workforce through the provision of training and development services.
The agreement aims to bolster the technical expertise and professional networks of NGA employees, supporting their receipt of internationally recognised credentials.
“Northrop Grumman Australia is a trusted provider of mission critical systems and technologies in support of a safe, secure and prosperous nation,” Derek Reinhardt, director engineering at Northrop Grumman Australia, said.
“Integral to this is investing in the professional development and skilling of our local workforce.”
Reinhardt said the agreement is part of a broader push to develop the company’s in-country capacity to support Defence projects.
“Our agreement with Engineers Australia helps to grow our sovereign engineering capability,” he added.
Engineers Australia is expected to deliver training via a Chartered pathway, which assesses employee competence, attitude and qualities against internationally aligned standards.
“Chartered engineers are recognised throughout the world for their skills and professionalism,” Engineers Australia CEO Dr Bronwyn Evans AM said.
“I applaud Northrop Grumman Australia's vision in building a Chartered workforce, benchmarking their engineers against globally recognised engineering standards.”
