Young Professionals
The IEEE CIS Young Professionals subcommittee is dedicated to:
- supporting recent graduates through the transition from education to employment, and
- supporting Young professionals throughout their careers and professional activities.
You are automatically an IEEE CIS Young Professional if you have graduated within "fifteen years from first degree" and there is also an option to participate beyond the fifteen-year time span.
To learn more about our activities and what's available to IEEE CIS Young Professionals then our social media channels are the first place to look.
You can read about our 2012 elevator pitch competition here and the second video competition here.
If you have any questions, suggestions or would like to be involved in the subcommittee then please contact the chair using the email address below.
