Standards Australia calls for NEXTgen participants

Standards Australia has announced its 2019–20 NEXTgen Program and is calling for young industry professionals to apply.

The communications industry is built on standards, so this program is a great opportunity for emerging industry and technical experts to become involved in national and international standardisation processes supporting Australian industry and government.

Participants will be given training, gain direct exposure to the standards development process and context, and participate in webinars, meetings and professional development activities.

The program is designed to generate a deep understanding of what it takes to shape robust standards that contribute net benefit to the Australian community. Participants will develop a valuable network of key Australian stakeholders and peers across industry sectors.

The goal of the program is to support the future of standards development through investing in the next generation of standards leaders and experts. Program participants gain the necessary skills to further increase their involvement in standardisation and contribute to the development of important standards in their field.

Information on eligibility, how to apply and travel subsidies are available on Standards Australia’s NEXTgen website.

Applications for this year’s program close on 30 June 2019.
