Through our Adelaide Connected program, we supported Engineers Australia to host an information session for migrant engineer jobseekers looking to make connections within industry.

Attendees heard from inspiring migrant engineers on their journey to successful engineering careers in Australia, as well as The Hon. Zoe Bettison MP, Minister for Multicultural Affairs and Minister for Tourism and Jan Irvine, General Manager, Engineers Australia SA & NT Divisions.

Migrant engineers are crucial to addressing the current engineering skills shortage in Australia. It is initiatives like this and others that will help break down the barriers to employment for recent arrivals to Adelaide and provide opportunities to build professional networks and access to potential employers.
