New Zealand initiative collaborates with international organisation in effort to alleviate critical shortage of engineers

Engineering Education-to-Employment (e2e) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).

Engineering e2e is a government initiative set up in 2014 in response to a critical shortage of engineers in New Zealand. The programme is managed by the Tertiary Education Commission.

Engineering e2e runs multiple projects aimed at attracting more students into tertiary study in engineering, particularly in diploma and degree courses.

Engineering e2e and IMechE have agreed to collaborate on initiatives that contribute to increasing engineering graduates by 500+ per year. They will promote activities and share information about any initiatives relevant to achieving their mutual goals.
