17 Oct 2011 - 15:55:16 in Achievement
All Bachelors of Engineering alumni have gone on to find graduate level employment since graduating May 2011. This illustrates both the need for digitally focused engineers from the four specialisations (Software Engineering, Network Engineering, Electronics and Computer Systems Engineering) and their quality.

Employing companies include big-names such as Google (Australia), GNS, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare and Aviat Networks. Small (agile) companies and start-ups, such as Code to Customer, have also recognised the talents and transferable skills gained through four years of dedicated study. The breadth of jobs available to you is amazing, e.g. working for the Ministry of Justice for their software and networking needs. The high technology and state-of-the-art nature of the jobs is illustrated by one of you who has joined FNZ who are interested in 'enterprise cloud computing and services company in the wealth management sector'.

It is also really pleasing to note that five of you have stayed on to indulge your passion for learning in Masters degrees. This has included attracting lucrative scholarships from companies (Im-able Ltd), government (TechNZ scheme) and the University.

With greater emphasis being placed on Graduate employment levels by government it is excellent to see the continued contact that you have with the School and the Careers service who are available to assist both students and graduates in finding their perfect job.
