Welcome to YPS Victoria

Chairman's Welcome

Victoria's Young professionals section (YPS) is one of the most active networks within the IET community. Through the collective efforts of our committee members (volunteers), we aim to directly provide support and membership enhancement to our local Victorian members, students and the broader engineering community. Whatever your interests and involvement in engineering, we aim to have something that will attract you to participate in our programme. If you have an idea for an event, we look forward to hearing from you.

Currently, the committee comprises two levels; Young Professionals (YP) - members under 30 years-of-age) and University Chapters from amongst Victoria's top universities.

Join the Committee!

I urge all members to consider joining your committee. We are a young, enthusiastic group of engineers, post-graduates and undergraduates who work together to enhance the local membership experience and to better meet local members' needs. We also like to have fun along the way!

Some of the benefits of committee participation includes:

• assist planning and organisation of events, such as:
  • technical seminars & lectures
  • site visits
  • courses (soft skills & technical skills)
  • publicity BBQs / trivia evenings
  • scholarships, awards, prizes, bursaries and competitions
• develop leadership skills
• experience working in a team & with a budget
• opportunity to pioneer industry enhancement/improvement
• network with industry, Government, peers and undergraduates
• personal satisfaction through positive contribution to the engineering community

All meetings are free for members and non-members to attend.

If you have any questions, please contact either myself, our Secretary or any of the committee.

Best regards,

Alistair Spratt
