Building a Brand for Engineers in Australia hosted by IET South Australia & Northern Territory Network
About
Building a brand for engineers in Australia is needed. There are many faces of engineering, though many outside the profession do not necessarily have an accurate understanding of what the profession is like. To build a better and stronger engineering workforce and industry here in Australia, the benefits and aspects of engineering as a career need to better promoted to both define and raise the profile of engineering.
