Several courses, including Naval Architecture, Marine and Offshore Engineering, Maritime Design and Maritime Logistics Management have been endorsed by the shipbuilding college as preferred courses for students interested in pursuing a pathway in the national naval shipbuilding plan.

The national push will revitalise Australia's naval fleet and will be integral in improving our Navy infrastructure and systems into the future.

It's expected the naval shipbuilding plan will result in the creation of 15,000 long-term sustainable jobs across the country, including in Tasmania.

However, Tasmanians have not yet embraced the shipbuilding pathway, Naval Shipbuilding College program director Bill Docalovich said.

There are 46 Tasmanians on the shipbuilding college's national workforce register but more will be needed to fulfil the goals of the naval shipbuilding plan.

Mr Docalovich said the unprecedented upgrade of the Royal Australian Navy's fleet was taking a national approach with investment in our future skilled workforce.

"There and opportunities throughout Australia to secure long and rewarding careers in areas of production and sustainment across the national naval shipbuilding enterprise; and through this course endorsement process we're helping students to graduate job-ready," Mr Docalovich said.

"Shipbuilding, supply and sustainment businesses in Tasmania are delighted to see their highly skilled future workforce taking shape.''

The Naval Shipbuilding College is located in South Australia and it offers a hub-and-spoke model to connect it with other higher education maritime providers such as the AMC.

The AMC has established a strong working relationship with the college since its inception, through its role as the country's leading maritime institution.

AMC is the second higher education provider in Australia to have its course endorsed for naval shipbuilding.

Australian Maritime College principal Michael van Balen AO said his organisation was committed to the partnership with the college, providing high-quality education and pathways into shipbuilding careers for students.

"The partnership will ensure our graduates are well-positioned for a large number of job opportunities that are being created as a result of the growth in the shipbuilding industry," Mr van Balen said.

"It demonstrates our responsiveness to the changing needs of the workforce in Australia."

The Australian Government established the Naval Shipbuilding College in 2018 to help secure a sovereign workforce to implement its $90 billion continuous naval shipbuilding program.

A national naval shipbuilding workforce register has been established for students or workers interested in working on some of the world's most technologically advanced projects.
