A cohort of 30 students, predominantly overseas qualified engineers, commenced a new\u00a0 Industry-Integrated Master of Engineering Program at La Trobe University this month, designed to upskill engineers for the Australian job market.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a statement from the university, many skilled and highly-experienced migrants struggle to find work due to a \u201ca lack of familiarity with Australia’s engineering workforce culture\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Professor Hossam Aboel Naga<\/span><\/a>, Head of La Trobe’s Department of Engineering, said \u201cDespite a high demand for engineers in Australia, many skilled migrant engineers find themselves without employment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

\u201cIn fact, only 50 per cent of skilled migrant engineers in Australia are employed in engineering roles.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn response, we have developed a course in collaboration with leading engineering companies in Australia, including Siemens, John Holland and Fulton Hogan, and endorsed by Engineers Australia to help bridge this gap.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The one-year course is described as blending academic learning with practical industry experience, and participants must undertake 800 hours of work placement, gaining practical experience and contributing to genuine engineering projects.<\/span><\/p>
