Graduates and students

ICE South East England provides a number of services for its Graduate and Student members, predominantly through the three branch G&S committees.

Membership Support

As well as the services of our Membership Development Officers, ICE South East England runs a number of events for the benefit of G&S members.  These include Written Assignment Groups, Professional or Technician Review Seminars, Membership Clinics and the London Study Tour to name but a few.  Details of all upcoming events can be found in our events section.
 

Competitions

Alongside Engineering Excellence Awards we run two competitions for G&S members - the Papers Competition for individuals and the team Communications Competition - while our G&S committees also take responsibility for running the region's annual five-a-side football contest.   

Social Events

Our G&S committees also organise regular social events, anything from curry nights to ten-pin bowling and bungee jumping.  Details of all upcoming events can be found in our events section.
 

Inspiring the Young

A large number of our G&S members also get involved in our work with schools.  Seeing an engineer closer to their own age can really inspire a young person to consider the profession.  Plus these events tend to be a lot of fun!
 

G&S Committees

Becoming involved with their local committees gives G&S members valuable experience of working with members of the industry outside of their immediate professional area and hones negotiation, organisation and budgetary skills, all of which provide invaluable background experience for the professional review.

My experience

Graduates and students

I have worked across the UK over the last 8 years and ICE G&S has helped me meet a number of people, both similar to me and more senior and influential members of the industry – it’s great for networking and making contacts.   I’ve had opportunities to visit some great places and the chance to get involved in areas that my work life did not offer in terms of training and CPD.

It’s easy to get involved and you can do as much as you choose to take on. In return it gives you great experiences and can opens doors for you.

G&S also offers you a good excuse to get in touch with old colleagues, university contacts or even company bosses.
