Thousands of New Jobs ACROSS Three Nations
One Mission
The AUKUS alliance between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States is set to create thousands of new jobs. By developing a pipeline of highly skilled STEM graduates and a talented workforce, AUKUS will build sovereign industry capabilities across these three nations, playing a crucial role in delivering on its commitments and strengthening national security.
As a Not-For-Profit organisation, the AUKUS Forum serves as a dedicated think tank and skills forum, bringing together industry, academia, and government to create jobs and boost the economy. This collaboration leverages the tremendous opportunities arising from the formation of the AUKUS alliance.
AUKUS goes beyond submarines. As a trilateral security pact, it unlocks a new world of innovation and technology opportunities for industry, academia, researchers, government, and defense. It supports the growth of businesses, both big and small, across the three nations.
While Pillar One of the pact facilitates the US and UK in aiding Australia to acquire nuclear-powered submarines, it encompasses much more, including cooperation on AUKUS Pillar Two:
- Quantum technologies
- Advanced cyber capabilities
- Artificial intelligence and autonomy
- Hypersonic and counter-hypersonic capabilities
- Undersea capabilities
- Electronic warfare
- Information sharing
This presents significant new market opportunities for manufacturers, innovators, creators, and thought leaders from the three AUKUS foundation countries. However, achieving this military mandate will require tens of thousands of new skilled workers with the training and commitment to ensure success. And there's not a moment to spare.
