“War on Talent” Continues For Engineers in Europe

Greetings IEEE Volunteers!

IEEE Job webpage has posted an interesting article about the demand for engineers in Europe, it’s definitely worth a read!

 

A low graduation rate and aging workforce is causing a “severe” shortage of technical professionals

There’s still a strong demand in Europe for engineers, despite high unemployment in the overall workforce, and ongoing economic uncertainties globally.

And while there appears to be fewer job openings posted this year than in the past for American companies with facilities in Europe, human resource professionals of European-based companies complain that there’s not enough “talent” to go around.

R8SAC September Chat Session: SB Membership Development

September is usually the month when many new students start their university life. This gives the branches the perfect opportunity to attract new members by introducing them to the world of IEEE. Therefore, tthis month we’ll be covering student branch membership development in our R8SAC chat session.

The session will start at 4pm GMT on September 19, 2012, and will be given by Aleksandar Szabo and  Jan Verveckken. Aleksandar is part of the R8 Membership Development sub-committee and will cover student branch membership during the session. Jan is the MGA Chapter student representative and will cover branch chapter student membership. Both of them have been involved in membership development for quite a while now and will present ways to attract and retain members.

The event URL is:  https://ieeemeetings.webex.com/ieeemeetings/onstage/g.php?d=251779159&t=a
