The Association is planning a mentorship program to support engineers and geoscientists throughout the different stages of their career. To help inform our program development, we are seeking input from practitioners via this brief survey. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Foundation is awarding 25 scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each for post-secondary students pursuing STEM studies. Designed to assist students who are interested in finding careers in aviation and aerospace industries, applicants may apply under four scholarship categories that cater to a variety of different demographics. The deadline for submissions is Monday, July 19, 2021. Eligible applicants must be 25 years or younger as of September 1, 2021. To learn more, see the RCAF Foundation website. We are still seeking assessors for the Competency Based Assessment (CBA) pilot. Assessors are those who determine if applicants have progressed to a professional level of competency in their field of work. This volunteer opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to give back to their profession, but is unable to commit to monthly in-person meetings due to work commitments, travel restrictions, childcare, etc.

Professional members in the following disciplines are encouraged to apply: civil, electrical, computer, aerospace, and project management/construction management. For more information on this opportunity, see the call for volunteers. Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba has partnered with Engineers of Tomorrow to pilot their Engineer-in-Residence (EIR) program here in Manitoba for the 2021-2022 school year. Engineers will be matched with a classroom in the province to support STEM curriculum with experiential learning, real-world examples, and hands-on engaging engineering activities on a monthly basis. The registration deadline for the 17^th Annual Making Links Engineering Classic golf day at Quarry Oaks is fast approaching. Last day to register a team is this Friday!
