This session has been designed to give early career transport planners a genuine opportunity to share their experiences, aspirations, challenges and ideas. The discussion will help inform future thinking by the Transport Planning Society on professional development, skills, qualifications and chartership.
 
What to expect
 
The session will begin with a short presentation to provide some context and introduce the topics for discussion. The majority of the event will then be interactive, providing plenty of opportunities for you to:
  • Share your experiences and perspectives
  • Ask questions
  • Discuss challenges and opportunities facing early career professionals
  • Contribute ideas on how the profession can better support people at different stages of their careers
We will also be using Mentimeter throughout the session to capture your views anonymously and in real time. This will help us gather a broad range of opinions, ideas, questions and suggestions from participants across the profession.
 
Why your input matters
 
We are keen to hear from transport planning professionals broadly within their first ten years in the profession, whether you are:
  • Working towards a professional qualification or chartership
  • Recently qualified
  • Considering whether professional qualifications are right for you
  • Looking to develop your skills and career opportunities
Your thoughts and experiences will be invaluable in helping us understand what support early career professionals need and how the TPS can continue to evolve its skills, learning and qualification offer to meet those needs.
 
We want this to be an open and honest discussion, bringing together perspectives from consultancies, local authorities and across the wider profession.
