Nova Systems Australia and New Zealand chief executive Steven Robinson said the growing space industry represented a significant opportunity for Australians to pursue a career and explore pathways in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
He said Nova Systems’ specialist capability training aims to encourage and support future space engineers, leaders and entrepreneurs.
“We are excited and honoured to be part of the driving force supporting the growth and competitiveness of the Australian space sector,” Robinson said.
“Providing specialist training and support to Australian industry and government will continue to enhance our nation’s capability and contribute to the generation of jobs, innovation and growth within the Australian economy.
“With the recent announcement of the establishment of the SmartSat Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), there are exciting opportunities ahead for the next generation of space companies and technologies in Australia. Our courses are designed with that future in mind.”
