Committee Purpose

“… develop a plan that integrates career related programs and activities in such a way as to present a coherent and unified IEEE approach to all its members on career issues.”

The process includes defining all current programs with their limitations and possibilities for expansion, analyzing those programs from a global perspective, determining future needs, and developing a comprehensive list of required resources.
