Start Your Defence Industry Career With Nova
Nova Systems offers a number of entry-level pathways, including defence work experience and internship placements for undergraduate students, and a structured two-year defence graduate program for recent graduates.
Graduate Opportunities
The Nova defence graduate program is a two-year program that will provide you with the experience, supervision, mentoring and training necessary to make the best possible start to your defence industry career pathway, and make a meaningful contribution to Nova and its clients.
The first year of the program focuses on skills development and training, while the second year of the program focuses on further rotations to further build your skills and experience, and introduce you to different entry level jobs.
The Nova defence graduate program include:
Rotations across different projects, programs and business units
Dedicated group and peer-to-peer mentoring
Training in technical, business and people skills aligned with a discipline-based competency framework
Annual graduate summit and regular team-building activities
Exposure to different entry level jobs
Nova Systems accepts applications for the defence graduate program all year round for commencement in February/March or August/September each year.
Defence Work Experience
The Nova Work Experience and Internship Program provides placements for university students in their penultimate or final year of studies, whose tertiary qualifications are aligned to Nova's core offerings.
The defence work experience program provides successful candidates with the opportunity to learn and develop their skills, by working on exciting projects aligned with their tertiary studies.
Typically, this program offers full-time placements over the summer university break. However, we are flexible around these dates and also offer part-time placements during the university year.
Upon completion of the program, some candidates may be offered a role in our defence graduate program.
