Testimonials
The Graduate Program in Engineering provides a unique opportunity for Engineers to network with their colleagues, strengthen their relationship with managers and mentors, add value to their organisation by completing a work-based project for a unique ‘Organisational Issue’ and to start their journey towards Professional Formation and Chartered Status.
The program gives engineers back the soft skills that they may have sacrificed along the way while being distracted by the technical world.
University has set you up with the technical skills and the mindset to solve problems, but in the working world there are many skills you need to develop both technically and professionally. Most of the professional skills can take considerable time to develop, and without training may not be recognised to be developed. The EEA Graduate Program in Engineering is the perfect way to kick start your professional development to get the most out of your career early on.
