Perth Architects how to get experience after graduating?

My husband has a Masters in architecture but has been unable to find a job in the field. He's had one interview where he was told that his portfolio was great but they didn't hire him as they wanted someone with more experience.

How do you get experience as a graduate architect when all the job postings are asking for 3-5 years experience? He's even learned ArchiCad to try and get a draftsperson job but no luck so far as they're all asking for 2-5 years experience as well.

He's also been cold emailing architecture firms expressing interest in an job/internship, got a few responses saying they're not looking for anyone at the moment but no response from most of them.

I know the job market is bleak right now but any advice would be appreciated, he's been pretty down lately and I want to help him.
