IEEE‘s View: GOLD‘s Mission

The GOLD program has been establishedto provide the framework and toolsfor the Sections’ use in retaining recent graduates.

By identifying those who make up this affinity group, determining their needs and expectations,and acting to meet those needs and expectations,the goal of GOLD is to add such value to the IEEE membership that the recent graduate finds it to be an indispensable professional tool.



IEEE‘s View: Gold‘s Mandate

To offer programs and servicesto and about graduating students,

recent graduates and young engineers.



IEEE‘s View: GOLD‘s Committee

GOLD Committees should be composed (largely but not exclusively) of and for recent graduates. Where there are sufficient numbers of volunteers, committees can and should be established, i.e. for events, membership, publicity.

GOLD reporting will follow the format already used in other Section-based Committees.
