Defence Industry Courses Alumni (DICA)

The Defence Industry Courses Alumni [DICA] comprises graduates of the Defence and Industry Study Course [DISC], the former Defence Industrial Mobilisation Course [IMC] and since 2010, the Defence Industry Leadership Program - SA. The IMC which ran from the early 1950’s through to 1991 and the DISC that replaced it from 1993 are study programs conducted by the Department of Defence aimed at enhancing the relationship between Defence and Industry. Graduates of the Alumni are employed in key positions in government or industry and following retirement many make themselves available to mentor colleagues and new graduates. DICA is an outstanding network of key executives and decision makers located throughout the Defence industry sector. The organisation exists to support its members and others within the sector who may be seeking professional mentoring or to locate a collaborative venture partner.
