Young Professional's Group

The branch's Young Professionals Group is entering a new era. We are continuing to build an active and enthusiastic YPG. The YPG is group of like-minded young IT professionals who maintain close links with the University and colleges; we are the IT professionals of tomorrow.

YPG activities are open to all, whether you're a BCS member or not. However membership provides a number of advantageous benefits, which including 25% discount on selected books, free monthly issues of Computing magazine and membership to worklink database.

At present the BCS offer extremely competitive membership fees. If you are currently a BCS member and between the ages of 18 and 35, then you automatically fall under the YPG sector. More information on the YPG in general can be found at BCS HQ YPG.

Some of our future plans include:

• Holding our own meetings on topics that are pertinent to the younger generation of professionals.
• Demonstrating to local employers the cutting-edge research carried out by Students and Graduates in the university and the advantages of employing us.
• Bringing Students/Graduates and prospective employers together.

We would encourage our members, students and graduates to come along to our monthly meetings. The benefits of attending meetings include:

• Discovering what computing in a commercial environment is all about.
• Learning about the latest computing technologies.
• Networking amongst a group of professionals from a diverse academic and professional background.
• Potential job opportunities.
• A valuable addition to your curriculum vitae.
