IET - The Institution of Engineering and Technology
IET, also known as The Institution of Engineering and Technology, is a professional society for engineers and other technology specialists. The IET's 150,000 members come from 127 countries and are served by offices located in North America, Europe, and Asia.
About the IET
In March of 2006, the Institution of Electrical Engineers and the Institution of Incorporated Engineers joined together to form the IET. This organization is responsible for holding over 120 events and conferences each year. In addition, the IET publishes numerous
(over one hundred) magazines, journals, and books. One of the magazines is entitled "Flipside," and is geared toward teens. The IET is also responsible for publishing the IEE Wiring Regulations for each year.
IET Offers Scholarship Opportunities
Engineering and IT students at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels may qualify for scholarships offered by IET. In addition to financial assistance offered to students, IET also offers travel awards to help defray the cost of attending international conferences and work programs abroad.
Approved Apprenticeships and the IET
If you are an employer, offering IET-approved apprenticeships means that you will be able to attract more candidates to your apprenticeship scheme. Your company name will be included on IET's list of approved apprenticeship schemes and help you develop employees with the desired electrical qualifications.
Once you have been approved by IET, any person who decides to apprentice with your company will have obtained the skills necessary to qualify as an Engineering Technician (EngTech). Getting approved is a simple process, and IET provides free support to help you go through the process to get the necessary approval. Employers are encouraged to become members of IET so that they can support their apprentices.
