Universum has just released its 2020 report as to where US engineering students which to work once they have completed their degree.
The conclusion that I draw is that Tesla is still drawing the biggest pool of applicants. This gives Tesla the opportunity to pick the best and brightest engineers. Ford have done OK, climbing up from 16th position last year. Maybe there has been some improvements at Ford given the gripes last year from the young engineers how staid the engineering culture was. . Last edited by Raptor; 13-11-2020 at 08:34 PM. Reason: It’s Tesla, not Telsa ;-) |

4, 7, 8 & maybe 10 and some others lower down - sounds about right. When I did my science degree at ANU, a lot of the engineering students (which were often in my classes) went straight into IT when they got their degree. I might as well include #1 too in that lot. The "engineering" degree though gave exceptions others didn't get, like only having to do 6 months of chemistry to get 1 point, where normally you would need the full 12 months to get the 2 points towards your degree. Hmmm, the hard stuff came in the 2nd half of the course. I would only conclude the young grads are looking for where the hard work is already done, sorting out best and brightest is up to the companies. There will be plenty of disappointments though, on both sides.

My concern is that anyone that has any talent goes to the US.
We need to invest in this ****. But we're still stuck digging **** out of the ground. |

He said that engineers mostly end up in IT or poached by the finance industry as that's where the money and opportunities are. We lost a really talented young electrical engineer to the finance industry, a big blow to our capability. |

And it is not all one way traffic. There are plenty of immigrants, with some really advanced skills, who have moved to Australia for the lifestyle. |

The local Victorian medical development companies are going gangbusters at the moment with the emphasis that Covid 19 has given. Many related streams of Engineering there. When I was working in that industry I found that many of them came from the automotive field. Tesla was advertising for automotive sector Engineers around the time of the car industry shutdown and I know of some who went to work there. Some firms hire undergraduates during their break as a way of cherry picking the best and offer them positions when they graduate.

Any side they can grease their grubby little political hands on. Doesn't matter which party.

Our smaller economy, far distance and small population makes it difficult to retain and attract, that is just part of a world economy with labour mobility.

I've done a 8 year stint in Europe. I learnt a hell a lot more over there than my time here in Aus. I now have better experience and make way more than the locals here.
