Calling ambitious, engineering professionals to the IEC Young Professionals Programme

06 Feb 2019

At GAMBICA we are looking for our members to nominate young (age 35 and under) and ambitious engineers to participate in the IEC Young Professionals Programme to help cultivate a positive environment for early-career professionals in international standardization.

The deadline for applications is 31 May 2019.

IEC Young Professionals Programme

Every year BSI and its partners offer young engineers the chance to take part in the IEC Young Professionals Programme, all-expenses paid.

The Programme brings together the world's upcoming expert engineers, technicians and managers. And provides them with opportunities to shape the future of international standardization and conformity assessment in the field of electrotechnology.

The IEC is the world’s leading organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. 

Every year its standardization and conformity assessment work leads to a week-long meeting – the IEC General Meeting – at which stakeholders from around the world debate current issues and decide on IEC’s future direction and strategy. The IEC Young Professionals Programme takes place during this week.

The next IEC Young Professional Programme takes place in Shanghai, China in October 2019.
