SUMMARY

Securing a traineeship abroad, particularly in the US, Canada, Australia, or Singapore, presents significant challenges, especially for candidates from smaller countries with less recognized educational backgrounds in fields like Production Engineering. The discussion highlights the difficulty in finding job advertisements that offer visa sponsorship, which is crucial for international applicants. Fresh graduates are encouraged to consult academic advisors for guidance on available options and to explore opportunities beyond their immediate field of study to enhance their chances of relocation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of visa sponsorship requirements for international employment
  • Familiarity with graduate traineeship programs in engineering fields
  • Knowledge of global job markets and recruitment practices
  • Experience in networking and leveraging academic resources for job placement
NEXT STEPS
  • Research visa sponsorship options for international traineeships in the US and Canada
  • Explore graduate programs in Production Engineering and related fields
  • Learn about networking strategies for job seekers in engineering
  • Investigate global companies that actively hire international graduates
USEFUL FOR

Recent graduates, particularly in engineering fields, individuals seeking international work experience, and career advisors assisting students with relocation plans.

I need someone to bring me back to reality because I may have disillusioned myself. I thought that it should not be too difficult to get a temporal job, graduate programme etc. applying from Europe. Yet I have so much trouble finding ads with visa sponsorship. I also start to think that my changes are even slimmer considering that I'm coming from a small country with less recognizable education in Production Engineering even though I do have some experience from global companies in Europe.

How hard is it to move to , e.g. US, Canada, Australia, Singapore for at least a year of graduate traineeship type of work?

Are you a current student? You should have an advisor who can tell you your options?

I just finished my master thesis and going to work for a few more months in R&D department of aerospace components. I'm not too passionate about the position and didn't get use to the work-life balance I have in the town I live in. I'm a fresh graduate so I guess I just want to relocate even if it is outside my field of experience just to see what's out there.
