🌐 Engineers Australia Responds to Government's Migration Strategy & Infrastructure Report 🚀 CEO Romilly Madew AO emphasizes the need for a balanced migration policy aligning with socio-economic goals. Positive steps include streamlining processes for skilled professionals and introducing a new visa for specialist skills. 🎯 The focus on 'regional hotspots' in Infrastructure Australia's Market Capacity Report is highlighted. These areas present opportunities for integrating migration policies with regional development, stimulating local economies, and enhancing skill development. 🌍 However, Madew stresses the importance of supporting skilled migrant engineers already in Australia to find stable and relevant employment. The Global Engineering Talent (GET) program is referenced as a potential strategy, aiming to increase the employability of migrant engineers qualified overseas. This program addresses barriers to employment, providing comprehensive support and specific skills relevant to the Australian engineering sector. 🛠️💡 Despite a skills shortfall, many qualified migrant engineers struggle to find relevant employment. The GET program is proposed as a solution, contributing to building a resilient, diverse, and innovative engineering workforce crucial for Australia's future. 🌟👩🔧 Key Statistics: 📈 More than 20% of Australia's qualified engineers are not in the labor force. 👩🔧 70% of the growth in the engineering workforce from 2016 to 2021 came from overseas-born engineers. 🔧 Australia competes globally for skilled migrant engineers. #EngineersAustralia #MigrationStrategy #InfrastructureReport #EngineeringTalent 🚀🌏

This month, La Trobe University welcomed 25 students into its Industry-Integrated Master of Engineering program. The students, predominately overseas qualified engineers, will undertake the one-year course to upskill for the Australian job market. Professor Hossam Aboel Naga, Head of La Trobe's Department of Engineering, said the new course addresses a paradox in the industry, with many qualified engineers unable to find work. “Despite a high demand for engineers in Australia, many skilled migrant engineers find themselves without employment. In fact, only 50% of skilled migrant engineers in Australia are employed in engineering roles,” he explains. “In response, we have developed a course in partnership with Engineering Australia to help bridge this gap. La Trobe’s Industry-Integrated Master of Engineering is specifically designed to enhance the qualifications of overseas-trained engineers in Australia.” Professor Aboel Naga said the initiative underscores the University's commitment to reshaping the employment landscape for engineers in Australia. “We want to ensure that skilled migrant engineers are effectively integrated into our workforce by closing the current skills gap and connecting them with industry partners.” Read more: https://bit.ly/3VLhLVC #LaTrobeComputingEngineeringAndMathematicalSciences #LaTrobeUniversity #EngineersAustralia

At the start of the year, we welcomed our newest engineer to our production team – Scott. Now, as we prepare to grow our team even more, we thought it would be a great idea to check in with Scott and see how his time has been so far! Q. Before we get started, why don’t you tell us a bit about yourself? A. “Yeah, absolutely! I’m originally from Ireland and have spent a good few years gaining my skills in the engineering world while also travelling as much as possible. I had lived in Canada for a short time, well before lockdowns were a thing, and eventually was ready for the next step and came across New Zealand. I did a bit of research, and I was immediately sucked in. It’s such a beautiful country, I’m now 2 years into my 1-year trip and I’ve just been granted a resident visa.” Q. Do you have any advice for new engineers trying to get into the field? A. "To enjoy the curiosity. Engineering is a world that is constantly evolving, and to embrace it with an open mind is crucial. The journey to becoming an engineer can be pretty challenging at times, but embracing continuous learning and staying enthusiastic will make it such a rewarding experience. So definitely take the risk, apply for the jobs that sound exciting; you might be just what they're after."

OZTRALIA FACES ENGINEERING SKILLS CRISIS BY 2040 An independent report commissioned by Professionals Australia projects a significant skills shortage of 200,000 engineers by 2040. This shortfall threatens to undermine essential engineering projects and economic growth unless both industry and government take urgent action to expand the engineering skills base and workforce in Australia. Shortages due to declining university enrolments, infrastructure stimulus demands, pandemic-related border closures, and the national energy transition have exacerbated the current crisis. This situation persists despite a current national shortage of around 40,000 engineers, projected to escalate to 100,000 by 2030 and 200,000 by 2040. "... So, why aren’t we filling the Engineering void? If we don't increase the number of engineers in OZtralia, it will definitely impact productivity and affect the OZtralian economy. Major projects will cost more, and will also take longer to finish..." remarked Wee-Oon CEO of OZemployment.com.au "... We just don't have enough engineers to go around to complete these projects. Just look at the state of Victoria (OZtralia), where infrastructure projects are constantly delayed and have got out of control, costing Victorian tax payers billions..." We need to focus on our engineering students, but we also need to consider the skilled migrant engineers already in OZtralia. Additionally, we must ensure we are bringing in the necessary skilled migrant engineers from overseas. Oz & Oz, via OZemployment.com.au and OZexpressMigration.com.au, provides a one-stop shop for migration and employment services ... all under one roof. OZemployment specialises in sourcing skilled labour through its various global community locations to address the 440,000+ skilled labour shortage across Australia, while OZexpressMigration assists global candidates in fulfilling their dream of calling OZtralia their new home! #ozemployment #oztralia #engineers #structuralengineer #mechanicalengineer #civilengineer #electronicsengineer #chemicalengineer #materialsengineer #electricalengineer #industrialengineer #petroleumengineer #productionengineer #diversity #ozexpressmigration #skilledlabour https://lnkd.in/gXekccdb https://lnkd.in/g6WGU4A3

"...Engineering New Zealand Te Ao Rangahau Chief Executive Dr Richard Templer says [...] there are “real challenges” faced by the industry. He says uncertainties surrounding government projects are negatively impacting the profession..." “We are aware of firms having to reduce staff numbers because of the cancellation or delay of projects. We need central and local government to rapidly agree on priorities and recommence work on these important projects,” he says. Templer says immigration can help but not solve the problem. “We operate in a globally competitive market. There’s a global shortfall of engineers, and a greater long-term demand for engineers here in Aotearoa than supplementary immigration can provide,” he says. #constructionjobs #infrastructureprojects #engineeringjobs
