Professional Organizations
Professional
organizations and associations can play a key role in your development and
keep you abreast of what is happening in your industry. Associations
promote the interests of their members and provide a network of contacts
that can help you find jobs and move your career forward. They can offer a
variety of services including job referral services, continuing education
courses, insurance, travel benefits, periodicals, and meeting and
conference opportunities.
The following is a
partial list of professional associations serving electrical
engineers and employers. A broader list of professional
associations is also available by
