Achieving distinction by connecting all young water professionals striving for personal and professional evolution

The Young Water Professionals programme offers practical and effective ways for those interested in a water sector career to follow their interests and gain experience.
Our programme presents opportunities for career development at workshops, technical events, and online initiatives. These activities help you to develop your skills and expand your network of colleagues and associates. We provide opportunities for young professionals to network in social and professional environments. Participants can present their work in a peer to peer learning environment at conferences and forums and can take advantage of a suit of initiatives that support the development of the future workforce in the water sector. Our newsletters will keep you connected with your community. Check out our latest newsflash and subscribe! |

YWP-ZA National Committee Elections The YWP-ZA National Committee has called on its members to nominate themselves for the National Committee which takes office in July 2018 until June 2020. We are now inviting our members to vote for four new National Committee members out of the 13 final candidates. We have ensured that the final candidates have been vetted and are eligible to hold this position. The four candidates will sit on the National Committee although in which position is up to the new National Committee to decide at its first meeting in July.
The positions to be filled are: Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and Imvelisi Project Lead (non-voting position). Sitting on the National Committee requires serious commitment and we therefore strongly recommend that you take the time to read all the profiles and chose strong representation. Things you could keep in mind while reading the profiles which could assist with the choice: Does the person seem committed? Does the person have the necessary leadership experience/willingness to learn? Please vote before 19 July 2018 for your four candidates. Vote here: https://goo.gl/forms/Ls5VWX1kOAPH7mup1 |
