Crafting Your Engineering Story for Australia

The Report (Portfolio) is a crucial document required by Engineers Australia (EA) for individuals seeking to migrate to Australia under a skilled visa, particularly if their engineering qualifications are not recognized under international accords (like the Washington, Sydney, or Dublin Accords). The Portfolio is your opportunity to demonstrate how your engineering knowledge, skills, and experience meet Australian professional standards, regardless of where your qualifications were obtained.

What is a Portfolio?

A Portfolio is a detailed report that showcases your engineering competencies and knowledge. It is composed of three main parts:

1. Continuous Professional Development (CPD): A list of all your engineering-related learning and development activities post-qualification. This includes formal courses, workshops, seminars, volunteering, and even self-study.

2. Career Episodes (CEs): These are detailed narratives of three distinct engineering projects or work experiences you have undertaken. Each Career Episode should focus on a specific period or aspect of your engineering work and clearly highlight how you applied your engineering knowledge and skills. They must demonstrate your competencies against the Engineers Australia’s competency elements.

3. Summary Statement: This is a concise analysis that cross-references your Career Episodes with the specific competency elements required by Engineers Australia. It acts as an index, showing the assessor exactly where each competency element has been addressed in your CEs.

Why is a Portfolio Crucial for Engineers Australia?

• Skill Assessment Requirement: For many international engineers, a high-quality Portfolio is a mandatory part of the EA skill assessment process for migration purposes.

• Demonstrates Competence: It allows you to formally prove your engineering capabilities and how they align with Australian professional expectations, especially if your degree is from a non-accredited institution.

• Personalized Assessment: Unlike an automatic qualification recognition, the Portfolio provides a personalized assessment of your individual engineering skills and experience.
