Young Professionals Coordination Team

The driving force behind YP activity at the IET.

The primary objective of the Young Professionals Coordination Team (YPCT) should be to ensure that all YP relevant channels within the IET remain open and effective. This will be achieved by managing and driving the Young Professionals Community and supporting and coordinating other Young Professionals Forum members.

The YPCT are also involved in driving the creation of a global community of YPs, encouraging individuals to get involved through board and committee activity or within their Local Network and facilitating the appropriate training to ensure they can engage and contribute effectively.
