Back in May, the IET’s Young Professionals Committee met for their second in person meeting of this current session. The group gathered at the IET’s Hong Kong office, where two days’ worth of meetings took place. They also had the opportunity to visit the facilities for both the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (IVE) where they got to see the newly opened Electric Cars workshop and a glimpse of the university’s solar car project, Sophie 6. As well as the Sha Tin Water Treatment Works which supplies 30% of Hong Kong’s clean water.

To cap off the trip, a sharing session with the Hong Kong Young Members Section was held, where both groups were able to network and share their insights.

Volunteering provides a platform for individuals to develop leadership skills, gain new perspectives, and make meaningful contributions to society. It encourages a spirit of collaboration, which is essential in addressing global challenges. The experiences shared by the YPC members during their visit to Hong Kong highlight the impact that volunteering can have, both on the volunteers themselves and the communities they serve.
