Young Engineers / Future Leaders
The Young Engineers / Future Leaders group are made up of individual members from around the Commonwealth who would like to represent CEC, and get more involved in project work related to engineering in the Commonwealth.
An information session held on 11th March 2024 went through some of the opportunities available, and the recording of this can be watched on youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkfmSihDtiw.
Overview presentation slides can be seen here.
A recent call out to young engineers across the Commonwealth appealed to a group of 50 or so new individual members, who expressed an interest in getting directly involved in project work in a number of identified areas. Of the respondents, 23% were female; there was a good spread of countries represented, with the biggest numbers from Nigeria and Zimbabwe; there was also a good spread of job roles represented, with 57% working in the private sector, 20% in government or public sectors, 13% for an NGO or charity, and 8% in academia. Respondents were interested in working in the following areas: governance and communication; membership and partnerships; sustainable urbanisation; indigenous engineering; standards and policy; engineering education; and mentoring.
The next steps for this group will be to elect two co-chairs to lead this activity and organise the individuals. Get in touch if you would like to get involved.
