Professional associations

Students are eligible to join most associations and take part in activities. Memberships allows you to:

• meet people in the industry
• make contacts and show an employer that you are serious about your chosen career or area of study
• keep up with developments and new technologies within the industry
• update your skills and knowledge, thereby enhancing your career prospects.

Activities may include:

• conferences
• networking evenings
• workshops or advice about pay and conditions
• publishing newsletters or journals

Associations represent their industries by raising their profile and gaining public awareness of the roles of the people they represent, in much the same way as a union might do.
