Comité sur jeunes professionnels
À propos du Comité sur jeunes professionnels
Established in 2022, the Young Professionals (YP) Committee at the Canadian Geotechnical Society is a group for early-career individuals in the geotechnical profession which is an integral part of Canada’s infrastructure. The committee is committed to building the next generation of geotechnical leaders. The committee wishes to expand the CGS offerings for younger members by promoting collaboration between interested parties within and outside the CGS, and by acting as a “think tank” to propose new and innovative ways to interact with YP members.

The Young Professionals refer to geotechnical professionals with under 10 years of experience.

Vision: Building the next generations of geotechnical leaders.

Mission: Based on the vision, our mission is supported by five pillars: 1) Network, 2) Knowledge, 3) Development, 4) Collaboration and 5) Impact.

The committee will provide a NETWORK of peers and veterans; create avenues for building geotechnical KNOWLEDGE; provide access to both personal and professional DEVELOPMENT; create opportunities through COLLABORATION with industry, academia, government and other young professional groups outside CGS; and create an IMPACT by articulating a vision for the future within the changing geotechnical landscape.
