From Internship to Impact
Digital literacy is a critical enabler for SMEs in their effort to better integrate into global value chains. Unsurprisingly, a key component in developing and supporting technology-enabled SMEs is a workforce equipped with the skills needed to tackle digital challenges of the future. Through its Education and Industry Capability Development Programs, DMTC supports Australia’s national vision for a highly skilled, digitally literate workforce.
With assistance from the Defence Science Institute and Australian Industry Group, DMTC achieves this by providing undergraduate engineering, computer science and software development students with practical work experience, assisting SMEs in their journey towards digitising their manufacturing operations as part of our SEF Program. Interns play a key role in the delivery of DMTC’s SEF, with internships offering mutual benefits for students and industry partners. Students gain valuable experience working on the factory floor, while industry partners gain much-needed support as they progress along their digital transformation journey.
