Professional Registration at Firstco – 20th May 2010

Each year Firstco tries to provide at least one day to its Graduate Engineers to focus on non-technical training. This year, on 10 May, the programme looked at Professional Registration, or how to become either a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer. Roy Bowdler, Senior Registration Coordinator with the Institute of Engineering Technology (IET) kicked the event off with a general presentation to the 13 Firstco delegates on the subject. This was followed by individual meetings between him and each member to discuss and advise on the best particular route to professional registration for the person concerned. In the meantime, group sessions were held on running and performing at meetings. Darren Grey also shared his recent successful experience of professional registration with the group and Kevin Stringer discussed his role as the lead in Sales activity for Firstco. It is intended that the recent momentum started by Darren Grey will encourage most, if not all staff, to start the professional registration process and gain the appropriate level of recognition that the IET represents within the international engineering community. Firstco is committed to helping its staff strive for the highest standards possible to help achieve its own business objectives and the lifelong, continuous professional development of each individual.
