1. Mechanical engineering has good prospects after graduation

In a notoriously tough graduate job market and high unemployment rates like in Vietnam and some other countries today, it is fair to say that skilled professional engineers will have many advantages. One of the easiest engineering fields to find a job in is civil engineering and especially mechanical engineers, because they apply basic mathematical and physical laws to create and manufacture the mechanical devices we use every day. And the demand for consumer products manufacturing industries is never limited.

Therefore, it is not surprising to see that mechanical engineering students and apprentices have excellent career prospects. Most mechanical engineers after about 3 years of apprenticeship can quickly find a suitable job in the right field.

2. Mechanical engineers enjoy great starting salaries

People with mechanical skills are highly valued in society and their salaries reflect that fact.

You can look at an example of the salary level of the mechanical engineering industry in Germany, one of the countries highly appreciated for mechanical internships and mechanical engineering studies to see the great potential of this industry.

As anywhere in the world, the amount you can earn depends on your work experience, the size of the company and the local area. Specifically, a mechanical engineer with two years of experience will most likely earn between €44,000 and €52,000 per year. In a small company, it can drop to €38,000. In lucky cases, it can rise to €65,000.

In Vietnam, the salary for the mechanical engineering industry is not really attractive compared to some other pioneering countries, so many people choose to study mechanical engineering and work in these countries such as Japan, Germany, etc. to expand their career opportunities.

3. Mechanical engineers are multi-skilled people.

A qualified mechanical engineer can be considered a specialist. Mechanical engineers have a working knowledge of computer applications, electricity, structures, mathematics and physics, plus they must have some understanding of social, environmental and economic factors.

If studying mechanical engineering not only provides a solid technical and vocational qualification but also incorporates a broader understanding of the world, then studying this profession sounds really appealing and it is for you.

4. Closing the skills gap

Another reason why many students choose to study mechanical engineering and choose Germany as their destination is that traditionally, German industry has always placed a strong emphasis on science and technology. Germany has the highest number of technical workers employed and the second highest proportion of technical workers among all employees in the European Union. However, demographic trends are causing some concern. Currently, 21% of technical workers are over 55 years old and many companies face serious replacement problems. The largest number of vacancies in the engineering industry are in the Hamburg and Stuttgart areas as well as in the cities of Berlin and Munich. Therefore, studying mechanical engineering here will not only contribute to the world's leading mechanical engineering industry but also shorten the skills gap and expand your employment opportunities.

5. Studying mechanical engineering has global opportunities

There is no country in the world that does not need its engineers, so having a degree and certain experience in mechanics, you also own a global job opportunity. Equip yourself with some knowledge of foreign languages and culture, society, you can work in any country you want!

In Germany, engineers from non-EU countries can now benefit from the new EU Blue Card, which gives highly skilled foreign immigrants the right to live and work there. Due to the shortage of engineers, this group has low entry requirements at the moment, the two main ones being: a degree, and an employment contract with a minimum salary of €39,624/year – something that the mechanical engineering profession could very well achieve in the future.

So, studying mechanical engineering is not just a profession, a course, it is also a technology of the future. Mechanical engineering is always at the forefront of developing new technologies for a number of industries including transportation, healthcare, construction and even robotics. It will be an interesting experience for you.

At the SHB German Language and Study Abroad Center (formerly SHD Academy), we provide high-quality mechanical vocational study abroad courses in leading developed countries, with a study-while-working policy that ensures the knowledge you gain in both theory and practice. We are ready to answer your most basic questions from what is mechanical vocational training, why should you study mechanical vocational training, where to study mechanical vocational training, etc. Especially with the support of foreign language training and senior career consultants, SHB is increasingly becoming a prestigious address for parents and students to entrust their children's future.
