“Providing diverse and exciting career pathways is crucial to ensuring we attract the nation’s brightest talent into the defence industry workforce pipeline.”
“Saab’s graduate program is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of creating Australia’s future defence capability, strongly supported by our expert senior engineers. Saab’s vibrant culture of continuous learning gives new recruits, particularly those in the early stages of their career, a deep understanding of the defence industry and Saab’s broad range of defence and security capabilities.”
Saab has once again seen a high number of female graduates, with this year’s intake including 27% females. We’re proud that this number continues to increase, because strong female representation is crucial in empowering other women to pursue a STEM career path.
