IEEE National Presents: Standards as a Career Superpower

World Standards Day is Thursday, October 14th! Join us for a career-critical overview of what industry expects you to know about standards. In real world engineering, what you don’t know can hurt you – and your career! Gary Thompson (Toronto Hydro) and Jalyn Kelley (IEEE) will discuss how standards knowledge can set you apart from your peers, why standards are vital to the product development process, and how engineers use standards in their job.

• Career Resources & Tools for Job Searching
