The recent exclusive webinar, ‘Route to ICE membership in Pakistan’, brought together a distinguished audience of senior professionals, including mentors, supervising engineers, employers, reviewers, and professional role models. During the session, Dr Jenny Illingsworth, ICE membership manager, outlined how civil engineers in Pakistan can achieve CEng MICE and access world‑class professional opportunities internationally.
Following the webinar, it was agreed that these experienced professionals would be invited to take part in a series of exclusive follow‑up sessions, where they will share their personal journeys and insights to guide and inspire aspiring young engineers.
