- Liaise with Providers: Build relationships with CPD providers from the directory to secure the best opportunities and stay informed about new and upcoming events.
- Monitor Trends: Keep up-to-date with industry trends and member interests to ensure our CPD programme remains relevant and valuable.
- Provide or delegate Network introduction: Work with your committee members to confirm who will be responsible for providing the audience with an introduction to your network ahead of the CPD, for those who are unaware.
What We’re Looking For:
- A passion for professional development and lifelong learning.
- Strong organisational and communication skills.
- The ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Familiarity with the building services engineering sector is desirable but not essential.
- Access to the internet and basic IT skills.
Why Volunteer With Us?
- Make an Impact: Play a key role in supporting the career development of your peers and the wider professional community.
- Expand Your Network: Connect with industry experts, training providers, and like-minded professionals.
