Migrant Engineer Success: From "Hopeless" to Hired Before Finishing the Course

Prabin is a migrant structural engineer who moved to Australia in 2019.

Despite holding a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree from an Australian university, he struggled to secure interviews or job offers as a structural engineer in Australia due to lack of local experience, limited knowledge of Australian Standards, and no exposure to local design software.

Like many migrant and graduate engineers, Prabin found himself working in unrelated jobs and feeling stuck.

In this video, Prabin shares:

Why Australian qualifications alone were not enough
The exact gaps employers look for in Australia
How he gained local experience
How learning Australian Standards (AS/NZS) in context changed everything
How working on real-life residential projects helped him build an Australian portfolio
Why weekly technical Q&A sessions and mentorship made a difference

After joining LearnPedia’s Traineeship Program, Prabin gained hands-on experience using industry software such as Structural Toolkit, SpaceGASS, and AutoCAD, and designed and drafted real-life Australian residential projects.

Before completing the program, Prabin secured a job as a structural engineer in Australia.
