BAE Systems Australia has welcomed a record number of apprentices forits $45bn Hunter-class frigates program at the Osborne Naval Shipyard.
The 40 new recruits will take up a range of roles in manufacturing, pipingand mechanical trades, joining more than 1800 workers on the program.
That number includes close to 1400 based at the shipyard, where schedule protection blocks – to be used in the first of nine anti-submarine warfare frigates – are currently under construction.
The latest intake represents the largest ever cohort of apprentices to be deployed on the Hunter program.
