IEEE IAS Global Mentoring Program (GMP) Contest-2023

In line with the proposed IAS five-year strategic plan (2020-2025), the IAS Board is of the view to offer more value-added benefits to its students and Young Professionals. In this regard, several YP activities have been introduced. These include, but are not limited to, the Young Professional Webinar series, “Roundtable Mentoring Session” at the IAS Annual Meeting 2022 in Detroit, the appointment of a new IAS YP Chair to coordinate YP activities within IAS, and joint activities sister/inter societal (e.g. IAS/PESL, IAS/PES).

In keeping with this theme, the Global Young Professional Mentoring Program (GMP) Contest was developed and endorsed by the IAS Executive Board. The GMP contest offers many other benefits to YPs and student members other than mentoring. These include developing public relation (PR) skills, development of management skills, value addition to IAS membership, etc. The GMP Committee is established within the IAS Education Department to oversee its development.
