CAREER DEVELOPMENT & LIFE LONG LEARNING Career and Employment Resources Distinguished Lecturer Program CAREER AND EMPLOYMENT RESOURCES If looking for a new job is the focus of many members in your Section, the IEEE job resource links on the web may be able to help. There are listings for both U.S. and outside the U.S., as well as hints on how to plan and manage your career. IEEE Societies, Sections, and Chapters may apply to offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for their short courses and conferences. Given the need for continuing education for licensed professionals, the CEU, which equals 10 Professional Development Hours (PDH), provides a strong incentive for those wishing to document professional development activities. If your Organizational Unit is interested in offering IEEE CEUs, please contact Educational Activities.
To reduce the burden of record
maintenance on the Organizational Unit,
Educational Activities maintains a central
registry of all CEUs awarded. For a small
fee, Educational Activities will maintain
student records, provide certificates for
completed courses, and process transcripts
Distinguished Lecturer Program If your Chapter would like to hold a truly notable technical meeting, consider taking advantage of the Distinguished Lecturer Programs. The programs, administered by individual Societies and Technical Councils, identify IEEE members with an established reputation for excellence in specialized topics of interest to the electrotechnology community. Many of the IEEE Societies have agreed to provide full or partial funding, thereby making expert speakers available to local Chapters which might not otherwise be able to afford a presenter of such caliber. Top-notch programs can generate revenue for your entity - advertise well; charge a fee for non-members.

The Education Partners program is an
IEEE member service offering discounts graduate
credit and non-credit courses.
Working in collaboration with universities and
corporate education providers, the program
offers over a thousand online courses,
available to IEEE Members at a 10% Discount. The
offerings include graduate degree and
certificate programs, and non-credit technical,
"soft" skills and general interest courses. To
view courses being offered, visit
The IEEE Educational Activities home page provides links to information for organizing educational activities at the Section level, and an overview of the resources for planning educational and career development programs, as well as CEU guidelines and policies.
The Technical Societies and Regions
encourage and provide support for educational
activities at the Section and Society
Chapter levels. While IEEE units sponsor a
number of educational activities at the
international and regional levels, many
more lifelong learning or continuing education
programs (CEP) are organized by Sections
and are tailored to meet the specific needs of
the local membership. These activities are
important since they are planned by
members in a Section and cater directly to the
needs of those members.
Extend the contact your
Section/Chapter has with the community or
industry by establishing a Speaker's
Bureau - a list of volunteers who are experts on
specialized topics and who are willing and
able to give an interesting presentation.
Prepare a brief description of the topics and
the speakers' qualifications, then
distribute to local newspapers, schools,
industries, community organizations - any
entity which might be interested. Remember,
your members may well have expertise in areas of
general appeal as well as a more technical
orientation. Draw on these
