Under 30? AFE Issues a Special Invitation to Join
Continuing its outreach to the next generation of people working in the facilities field, AFE has established the Young Professional Member category. This special group is for people under 30, as they grow their careers eventually advance to full membership.
YPMs (Young Professional Members) will have all the same membership benefits as a full member, but with added incentives to make this your strongest possible career move into facilities engineering.
And AFE's resources can't be beat for someone just starting out.
For example, when a young professional need advice or seeks input from a colleague, our member-to-member network can't be beat — and it's open 24/7 at www.afe.org.
Likewise, the online CareerCenter is a must-visit site because it's constantly brimming with "help wanted" ads from employers in a wide range of locations and industries.
AFE is known for its ongoing education resources, which are valuable to facilities professionals of all ages. We encourage YPMs to check out our credential programs, too, as a means of getting ahead. Becoming a Certified Plant Engineer, Certified Plant Maintenance Manager or Certified Plant Supervisor distinguishes you. It gives you a career edge because it identifies you as someone with specialized knowledge in engineering, operations and maintenance, as well as business management; strategic leadership; and professional ethics.
Another boost: The opportunity to develop leadership and management skills through participation in volunteer activities at our local, regional and national level. Becoming active in AFE enables you to become adept at things like event management, budgeting, communication, teambuilding, and so on.
Don't wait! Join AFE in the early stages of your professional development and see how far you can go!
