Jason Fletcher | Education Manager, Engineering Education Australia

In this video, 360ed.tv chats with Jason Fletcher who is the Education Manager for Engineering Education Australia (EEA), the training arm of Engineers Australia, about professional development and training opportunities for engineers post graduation.

Against a backdrop of engineer shortages to meet Australia’s industry targets, Jason discusses the need to remove employment barriers for graduates and recruit more international talent. He outlines how EEA’s pilot ​​Global Engineering Talent (GET) program is addressing this by providing practical training tied to a nationally-accredited benchmark, to improve employment prospects and facilitate the transition for international engineers. 

In response to emerging expectations of graduate skills and preparation upon job placement, Jason also explores how Engineering Education Australia has redesigned and relaunched their graduate program following extensive industry consultation.
