Investing in the Future
Boeing Australia knows the future of the cutting-edge aerospace industry is through the smart, talented and enthusiastic youth of today. In Australia, the company is passionate about engaging and encouraging young people through education to inspire their interest in STEM, particularly aerospace- and aviation-related projects. We actively engage with young Australians, sparking their passion for science, technology, engineering, and math through a range of education initiatives focused on aerospace and aviation.
Supporting Educational Pathways
We are a long-term supporter of the Aerospace Gateway to Industry Schools Program, a Queensland Government initiative in partnership with industry leaders. This program opens doors for high school students, connecting their education to exciting careers in aerospace.
Partnering with Universities
We collaborate with leading Australian universities to enhance undergraduate programs, supporting continuing education for Boeing employees, recruit top talent, and foster research initiatives that aligns with our long-term business goals. Since 2008, we have constantly funded universities across the country, such as the University of Queensland, Queensland University of Technology, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, University of Melbourne, University of Adelaide, and the University of Newcastle. These investments fuel student projects, scholarships, awards and outreach programs.
Promoting Lifelong Learning
Boeing believes in the continuous development of our workforce. We encourage employees to pursue further education both locally and internationally. Every year Australian team members participate in professional assignments and global programs to broaden their knowledge and skills.
Empowering Small and Medium Enterprises
Boeing is committed to supporting education for Australian small to medium enterprises (SMEs). In 2022, we launched the Boeing Capability Uplift Program, a 12-month initiative designed to help SMEs improve their defence business readiness and Defence maturity. Our main goal is to empower these companies to secure contracts or expand their existing ones within the defence sector. This program is a collaboration between Boeing, the Office of Defence Industry Support (ODIS), and Defence Jobs Queensland.
