SAIMechE’s Professional Development Programme (PDP) will help you to achieve success.

Success can mean different things to different people.  It could mean getting your dream job, earning more money, being promoted, running your own business, acquiring more skills, being recognised by your peers, etc.  However you define success, we can agree that the sooner you succeed the better.

Success in the working environment requires more than a qualification and a great attitude - it requires a particular set of skills.  The working environment itself is not important, and whether your find yourself in design, manufacturing, consulting or running your own business, the same skills are needed to give you the best chance of success.

The PDP will help you to understand, develop and apply the skills needed for success.  The PDP will help you to create a portfolio of evidence from your own work which will demonstrate to you and others that you have the skills necessary to succeed.
