The YPN aims to bring together people at an early stage in their careers in the water industry and from any background, creating a network of people with similar levels of experience. We hold events aimed at those with less experience so they can develop and be supported as they take those first steps in their career.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone at an early stage of their career to help grow and shape the YPN for the benefit of our members. You will get the chance to influence the activities of the YPN within the institute, as well as developing your own organisation, leadership and communication skills.
