The perfect blend of formal learning and real-world experience
The Engineers Australia’s Professional Year Program in Engineering was developed by Engineering Education Australia (EEA) to provide international engineering graduates, from Australian universities, the skills and experience they need to begin a successful career.
The program consists of training and an engineering internship placement to help you enter the Australian workplace with confidence. Approved by the Department of Home Affairs, it’s the only legislated work-readiness program for engineers in Australia.
To qualify for a Professional Year Program in Engineering, you MUST:
Have graduated from a related higher education program within Australia (minimum 2 years duration)
Currently hold or applied for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485, either stream) with at least 12-month validity
Minimum IELTS score of 6 in each band or equivalent
Provide a valid skills assessment from CPA, IPA or CA
