IEEE STEP Program
|
IEEE STEP was developed to provide a standardized yet localized program for facilitating the transition from student member to young professional, by introducing the opportunities and benefits of IEEE membership during the onset of a career.
The STEP Manual provides the one place to access information on how to plan and organize workshop activities to outreach to the transitioning student or graduating member. The manual contains a check list, best practices, program objectives, description of the student elevation process, format and activities of the STEP workshop and additional resources including Membership Development. Download the STEP Manual (PDF, 699 KB, 24 pages). Funding is available for STEP activities including the graduation reception for groups holding an event with a minimum of 10 recent graduates. Basic funding will be provided at the amount of $500 and additional funding may be available if additional recent graduates attend beyond 25. A funding proposal form is available to assist in developing a STEP event budget. Form available in PDF (PDF, 19KB, 2 pages) or in Excel format (32KB, 2 pages). vTools is sponsored by IEEE Membership and Geographic Activities (MGA). MGA serves the needs of IEEE members by supporting IEEE Sections, Chapters, and Branches and is responsible for IEEE membership, and member development. The vTools toolkit contains tools in various phases of development, from production, to pilots, to active development. One tool in the vTools toolkit can be used to register the STEP event as well as advertise and promote the event is outlined below.vTools is a tool for managing section and chapter meetings. Officers (IEEE reported Section and Affinity Group Chairs) can create meeting announcements with no dependence on webmaster availability and show them on your website. Members and the public may see and register for the upcoming meetings. This Tool is in production. We ask that you register your IEEE STEP event via this IEEE tool. |
