WHAT IS DEGSA?

DEGSA, or Defence Engineering Graduates of South Australia, is a non profit organisation with the goal of building a stronger defence industry in South Australia, by moulding it into the most attractive engineering career pathway for graduate engineers. We plan to do this through three key objectives;

  • Inspiring the next generation of engineers by building a bridge from industry directly to high schools to expose them to what working as a graduate engineer really looks like.

  • Attracting graduate engineers to the defence industry in South Australia, through events that showcase what the industry is like, and what we work on.

  • Engaging the current graduate engineers working in defence, by providing them with unique and exclusive professional development and networking opportunities.
