Another first in the history of the IEC involves an entirely new project: the IEC Young Professionals Programme. The first workshop for young engineers and managers is to be held in parallel with the 2010 GM in Seattle. This workshop is intended for professionals in their 20s to mid-30s with some experience in standards development or in the use of standards in conformity assessment.
Participants will have the opportunity to experience the 2010 GM, attend technical meetings and hear and meet some of the experts who are already involved in IEC standardization work.
The programme is destined to strengthen industry participation and encourage professionals to become involved in IEC work from the outset of their careers. The BEC will be running a competition to select 3 participants from the UK - if you wish to contribute to the competition contact Secretary of BEC, Mike Graham.
