As an engineering student I would like to know how valuable is it to get overseas experience early

I shall soon graduate from ANU in Canberra, Australia and I am trying to plan my career. 

First - I need to get Workk experience. What are good ways to get that and how do I go about it?

  • Hi Lisa
    Yes in fact I am a fellow of the IET but I was fielding a question in respect of my grandson who is an engineering student. As I have retired some years ago I am not up to date with what I was asking about and the current engineering and employment environment.
    My question was posed as if I were an engineering student so that replies should be relevant. Also  and I was looking forward to discovering whether IET EngX could be valuable to recommend to my grandson. Thus my question is genuine and the interest is genuine. 
    I did attempt to reply to the email I received from you, which gave the address "community@ietengx.org" but that bounced. I am not experienced with the procedures for using IETEngX.
    The answers to my question would be valued.
