Career Development, Networking, and Mentoring Resources for YPs
The first few years of student life and the time following graduation can be challenging for young engineers. Employment searches, new jobs, professional growth, career development, and life status changes are common experiences. Going through these challenges can be daunting, but IEEE members never have to go through these experiences alone or uninformed.
PELS brings together budding engineers in the area of power electronics. PELS Students and Young Professionals (YPs) host a variety of events, especially at different IEEE conferences and meetings, geared to helping students and young professional members get connected in the power electronics community. Special access receptions and dinners, mentoring, and other unique growth opportunities are available for the members of the PELS Students and YP program.
