It's an industry in serious need of workers as Australia rebounds from the pandemic, yet almost half of migrants qualified in engineering can't find jobs:

Yaning Ting used to design commercial air conditioners in China. But these days, he’s delivering materials for an air conditioning company.

The high-qualified migrant spent over a decade honing his skills as an engineer in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning sector, including ten years as a project manager. But after a wave of rejections for jobs at his skill level from Australian employers, Mr Ting says he is disappointed.Source:“Because I really have a lot of professional experience in my field. But when I send out my resume, they don’t care about that, and I don’t know why.

Skilled engineers are driving taxis and delivering takeaway, Engineers Australia CEO Dr Bronwyn Evans said. That’s why pathways to internships and work experience are essential. Engineers Australia is working on a pilot program to connect migrant engineers with employers.
