IEEE Young Professionals is the group of IEEE members and volunteers who have graduated from their first professional degree within the past 15 years. It is an international community, whose members are interested in elevating their professional image, expanding their global network, connecting with peers locally and giving back to their community. Since it encompasses all members from recent university graduates to experienced professionals and entrepreneurs, the group is highly diverse in what it has to offer.
Young Professionals (YP) in Microwaves is a slice of the IEEE Young Professionals community comprised of the MTT-S Young Professionals members. We share the same goals as the wider Young Professionals community, but focus on providing these within the technical context of the microwave world.
