Aviation Industry Initiatives
A higher apprenticeship program to upskill the civil construction sector with industry 4.0 skills.
What is this initiative?
Swinburne Edge’s Learning Design and Innovation (LDI) unit has designed a series of educational resources after a three-year collaboration process with national association, Aviation/Aerospace Australia.
Together, they had one goal in mind: bringing workers back to the aviation industry post-COVID.
The Process
During a three-year collaborative period, the LDI team had conversations with over 80 subject matter experts to ensure that the final course contents were future-oriented, accurate, and aligned with industry needs.
Why did LDI speak to so many subject matter experts?
The team wanted to fully understand the diverse needs of the aviation and aerospace sector’s workforce, looking at everything from manufacturing parts to airport regulations.
The Outcome
Armed with this information, LDI created eight courses now run in conjunction with Aviation/Aerospace Australia .
This course will give you an insight into the world of aviation and aerospace. The industry is made up of many different sub-sectors, and you’ll learn how all of these different elements, systems, functions, roles and organisations work together to seamlessly deliver and support safe and efficient air transport. It’s a must for anyone wishing to enter the aviation and aerospace industry.
This course will provide you with foundational knowledge of the aerospace industry evolution, key moments in history that influenced advancements and a unique insight into the next 50 years of aerospace. You will explore the design and creation of an aerospace vehicle including: specifications, aerodynamics, materials and structures, electronics and avionics.
Over a relatively short time-period, aviation and aerospace has developed into one of the safest, most extensive, highly regulated and integrated industries. This course will provide you with a foundational level of understanding and basic skills and awareness of the non-technical aspects of the work environment, the role of the individual and the connections between the individual and organisational management of risk and safety.
Aviation and Aerospace Fundamentals is a series of short courses designed to offer you the foundational skills and knowledge you need. Designed by industry for industry, in as little as one day you can do sample or short courses that can help you pursue the path that’s right for you.
This course will provide you with introductory knowledge of Australian military aviation and the inherent differences to civil aviation. You will also learn the similarities and alignments. It explores legislation, air space, safety, variations of aircraft, and career pathways into defence, including roles supporting defence operations.
This course will introduce you to the foundational concepts involved in the field of human factors, relating to human performance. A greater understanding of human performance results in better informed employees, contributing to a safer and more positive workplace environment.
This course will provide you with knowledge of the relevant regulatory frameworks across the aviation and aerospace industry and how they are operationalised within the Australian context.
This course will provide you with foundational knowledge on the effects of alcohol and other drugs and the importance of responsible operations in safety-sensitive aviation and aerospace activities.
Aviation and Aerospace Fundamentals
Who are the courses for?
These courses are designed for workforces or professional learners looking to enter the aviation and aerospace industry, or those who simply wish to gain a deeper understand of the broader sector.
