Emerging Professionals Network
A platform for emerging professionals working or interested in transport, to network, learn and develop their skills alongside like minded individuals within the industry.
AITPM’s Emerging Professionals members ensure the industry’s sustainability and we are committed to encouraging their active engagement with our sector.
Emerging professionals, up to 35 years, represent our most recent entrants into the profession.
These members are eager to acquire traffic and transport skills and AITPM has a lot to offer through existing activities such as Technical Forums or targeted activities including social/networking opportunities and professional learning. Accordingly AITPM launched the emerging professionals network in each state coordinated through the Board of Directors. The establishment of the emerging professionals network in 2012 and continual provisions for learning and development represented a key action of the AITPM’s Strategic Directions 2013-2017.
