Date Time Defence jobs focus of new NSC agreement South Australian defence jobs are at the forefront of a new Cooperation Agreement signed between the Marshall Liberal Government and the Morrison Federal Government’s Naval Shipbuilding College (NSC). The agreement will push forward the state’s agenda to expand the highly skilled naval shipbuilding workforce to deliver on future naval shipbuilding projects. More than 4000 workers will be needed over the next four years to meet the construction and sustainment requirements of the future Hunter class frigate, future Attack class submarine and Collins class submarine in South Australia, as well as thousands of additional jobs in supply chain and supporting industries.
