Every year, BSI and its partners offer young engineers an incredible, all-expenses-paid opportunity to participate in the prestigious IEC Young Professionals Programme.

This programme – integrated into the annual IEC General Meeting - brings together the next generation of expert engineers, technicians, and managers from around the globe. Participants gain a unique platform to influence the future of international standardization and conformity assessment in the fast-evolving field of electrotechnology.

In this episode, Design Engineer Tom Ruddell shares his experiences representing BSI and the UK at the IEC Young Professionals Programme in Edinburgh in 2024. Through an audio diary, he reflects on his week at the IEC General Meeting, recounting the people he met, the events he participated in, and his key takeaways from the experience.
