Are you making the most of your IET membership?
From professional development and career opportunities to mentoring and networking, our membership offers far more than many members may realise. Whether you're at the start of your career, looking to develop new skills or considering your next professional challenge, there are a range of benefits available to help you grow.
Take the next step in your career
As a member, you have access to E+T Jobs, the IET's dedicated careers platform. Featuring opportunities from employers including Rolls-Royce, National Grid, MBDA, AWE and BAE Systems, it's a useful way to stay connected to the engineering jobs market and explore opportunities across a wide range of sectors.
Continual learning
Professional development is a lifelong journey and members can access a programme of free Lifeskills webinars throughout the year.
Topics range from leadership, negotiation and conflict management to technical report writing, project management and systems engineering. New courses are regularly added, providing practical ways to develop skills and support your continuing professional development (CPD).
Members can also access IET.tv, home to more than 16,000 engineering videos covering technical topics, industry insights and professional development resources.
Make IET London: Savoy Place your base
Visiting London for work or meetings? Members can use Savoy Place as a base up to twice a week and bring up to two guests. With complimentary tea and coffee, workspace facilities and views across the Thames, it's one of the membership benefits many members wish they'd discovered sooner.
Mentor others. Grow yourself.
For members looking to give back through volunteering, our mentoring programme offers the chance to make a real difference to someone else's career while developing your own skills at the same time.
Mentoring isn't about having all the answers. It's about sharing experiences, asking the right questions and helping someone else develop confidence in their own abilities.
In return, mentors often gain just as much as their mentees. The programme helps develop leadership, communication and coaching skills while connecting you with engineers from different backgrounds and career stages.
Are you ready to achieve professional registration?
Professional Registration is more than a title, it's recognition of your skills, experience, and commitment to professional excellence.
As Derry Ellis EngTech MIET explains:
"Upon achieving professional registration, it only made me more confident in my approach to engineering, having gained industry recognition."
"By setting aside an hour a week with my engineering manager to work through my application, I found the process far easier than I'd expected."
Whether you're exploring career opportunities, developing new skills, considering professional registration or looking to support others through mentoring, there's never been a better time to make the most of your membership.
