The Young Engineer Programme 2024
The Institute of Corrosion will be running the Young Engineer Programme (YEP) from January to November 2024, in London, UK.
The 2024 programme will be open for a limited number of participants who are in the first 7 years of their career and are interested in broadening their experience to assist them in their future careers. The programme will be split between in-person and online sessions, with the in-person sessions hosted in central London.
The programme will deliver key subjects related to the corrosion industry. This programme is open to all – you do not need to be a member of the Institute of Corrosion to apply![1]
The topic will cover:
- Fundamentals of Corrosion
- Materials Selection & Integrity Management
- Plant Chemistry
- Welding
- Coatings & Linings
- Corrosion Under Insulation
- Cathodic Protection
- Presenting Case Studies
In May the group will be split up into teams and tasked with finding a solution to them through a real-world case study. Each team will be assigned one of the UK’s foremost corrosion experts as a mentor who will guide them in solving the problem! Each team will have an opportunity to present their case study.
Generously sponsored by BP, the participants of this programme can win an all-expenses paid trip to AMPP Annual Conference + Expo 2025 in Nashville, USA, based on your solution to the YEP24 case study. In addition, one delegate chosen by the Institute who demonstrates remarkable commitment will be awarded the all-expenses-paid trip to Nashville as well as a place in the AMPP year-long leadership course.
After the opening and closing ceremonies, there will be a dinner where the participants can meet their lectures, mentors, and UK’s most senior corrosion experts.
“Due to an increase in demand of enquiries we have had close to the initial deadline, we have decided to extend the application deadline to 1 December 2023 to give people the opportunity to apply”.
