Abstract
Every year thousands of engineers migrate to Australia however, a
majority of them only secure jobs unrelated to their
professions/qualifications (Mahmudetal.2014). For these migrant
engineers earning a living in an alternative position results in their
downward mobility professionally and eventual skill atrophy (Cameron
et al., 2013). This proposed research study will adopt a sequential
exploratory mixed methods approach to examine the phenomenon of
skill wastage amongst migrant engineers which will draw upon elements
of Social Identity Theory (SIT) and Intelligent Career Theory (ICT).
Findings from this research could inform dialogue on effective HR
Policies which may be adopted by the Engineering organizations to better
Access and utilize migrant engineers as well as inform future migration
policies.
