Get on board with Standards Australia’s NEXTgen program- Deadline is 16 July 2021
With an ambition to foster the next generation of technical experts and industry representatives, Standards Australia’s NEXTgen program is designed with the future in mind.
NEXTgen is a professional development program for individuals excited about the industry they work in, whether they have worked with standards before, or are interested in learning about standards and their benefits.
Over 10 months, participants will:
- Gain an in-depth understanding of how a standard is created,
- Develop the key skills to become an effective committee member,
- Work and learn from some of the best in the business, including current committee chairs, leaders in their industry field and past NEXTgen participants,
- Hear from nominating organisations and establishing networks,
- Boost their professional profile,
- Develop communication, relationship building, effective negotiation and build a personal brand, and
- Gain knowledge that can value-add for their employer and/or clients.
With the aim of future-proofing standards development to reflect the people and communities that use them, NEXTgen recognises and engages diversity, values, and utilises each individual’s varied professional backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to nurture and generate new ideas.
