IEC Young Professionals programme

The IEC Young Professionals programme brings together young professionals working in electrical and electronic engineering to build international networks, learn about standardisation and conformity assessment, and gain exposure to IEC technical and management meetings. Selected participants attend the IEC Annual General Meeting and Conference, observe committee meetings, take part in workshops and networking events, and may undertake visits to industrial sites. National committees select candidates to represent their country and elected YP Leaders may serve as ambassadors and mentors for subsequent cohorts.

Participation in the IEC Annual General Meeting and Conference, workshops and interactive sessions, observation of technical and management meetings, networking with IEC experts, visits to industrial sites, and potential election as a YP Leader and subsequent mentorship roles.

Applicants should be in their early 20s to mid-30s, have some experience of standards development or the use of standards and/or conformity assessment, and be employed by a business, industry, association or government body that uses, benefits from or contributes to the work of the IEC.

Send a CV and a short statement (a couple of brief paragraphs) explaining motivation and suitability by email to the IEC National Committee Secretary.
