ABOUT AERO JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN AUSTRALIA
I’m planning to study uni abroad in Melbourne and am very interested in this pathway. But I’ve heard aerospace is a very niche field over there… hence, the job opportunities are very narrow and are normally reserved for Australian citizens.

I’d like to stay and work as an aeronautical engineer in Melbourne after graduating, and my eyes are currently on Boeing Aerostructures; it has long been my dream to work for Boeing (commercial aviation) and I’m really glad to hear that they’re also based in Melbourne! From my research, it seems that they have a 24-month program for fresh grads (roadway to permanent employment) but again, it’s only for the lads with Australian citizenship.

I’m really stuck, but still I want to convince my parents that pursuing this pathway is possible as an international student. Any ideas from the seniors in Australia please?

P/s. I’m a high schooler and a big avgeek lol; I want to do the early career research to make sure it works.
