[quote=Anonymous]OP,

What branch of engineering?  Civil? Structural? Environmental, Mechanical etc?

Folks on here can help but we need to know the specialty.

In my state the Civil and Structural engineers have to intern as E.I.T.'s, engineers in training before they can take the licensing exam.

What is the path for your graduate to get licensed in your state?  Is he studying for the licensing exam?

I highly recommend that he look at smaller firms. 
I'm not an engineer but I worked at a firm with 6 Engineers--Some Civil, some Structural and some Environmental.

We generally had 3-4 EIT's--Engineers in training.  They worked with us until they passed their licensing exam and then they moved on to other firms as they could now sign and seal documents.

We always had a lot of work.

I'd have him look to smaller firms and wear his white shirt and tie and drive around and drop off his resume in person.  He will get noticed.

I know another small firm that does Structural. They are always swamped with work and concentrate now on inspections.

Focus on small firms.

Also the military hires Engineers and has a big need for engineers. He would go in as an officer.
