Talent and technology key to the engineering industry’s future according to AOG stakeholders
A decline in student enrolments in engineering courses, in particular from Australian students should be ringing alarm bells according to a report by Engineers Australia.
The 2019 report ‘Australia’s Next Generation of Engineers’ tells us that until 2007, when strong demand for engineers developed domestically, annual entry-level course completions failed to increase with any significance.
Following this was eight years of steady growth culminating in a record level of graduations; however, since 2015 completions have been back on the way down.
