Engineers Australia's calendar of activity for young engineers contains two pieces of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) content each month created to support, develop and grow early career engineers. The calendar is made up of two series: the YEA CPD Series and YEA Tech Talk Series.
YEA CPD Series
The Young Engineers CPD series has been put together exclusively by young engineers for young engineers and is designed to support you on your career journey into the professional world.
The series aims to provide educational content that bridges the gap between what you learn at university and what you need to know in the workplace by delivering learning opportunities that you can practically apply on the job.
YEA Tech Talk Series
The Young Engineers Tech Talk Series will regularly profile technology platforms, programs and solutions, or topics of a technical nature, and will be pitched specifically at early career engineers.
YEA Collaboration Series
The YEA Collaboration Series has been created to provide young engineers with insights into how they can effectively interact with other professions within the scope of their day-to-day roles.
It is designed to provide practical tips, reference points and takeaways that can be used to help facilitate more constructive communication and interaction.

Your guide to pitching as an engineer
As part of our YEA CPD series, we will explore how to set-up and present a pitch using a story structure, voice and body language. Dispel the notion that only confident extroverts can present well.
In this session designed for early-career engineers, we focus in on another critical business acumen skillset - pitching. Attend this webinar to gain insight into how you can step up your oral communication skills to be able to articulate what you do and your ideas in order to win over prospective and current clients.

Building engaged stakeholder networks on projects
In this YEA Collaboration Series webinar, we will provide techniques and tools to enhance and build your network relationships throughout the project lifecycle with a collaborative approach for effective project management and delivery.
The construction industry is about relationships, and the success or failure of a project starts with stakeholder management. Effectively engaging with stakeholders is an ongoing process throughout a project’s entire lifecycle, requiring a collaborative approach that’s designed to listen, educate and inform.
From ideation to execution, we will equip you with the tools to identify, map and prioritise key stakeholders, as well as how to collaborate with each profile.
