Professional Development
Participation in continuing professional development (CPD) is an essential aspect of APEGA licensure. By offering opportunities for learning and skill advancement, APEGA helps registrants at every stage of their careers maintain necessary standards of ethical, professional, and technical competency. Our sessions are valuable tools that help professionals stay current with industry changes and technological advancements and find unique ways of honing soft skills important for career development. These sessions also provide ways for registrants to engage in the important work of self-regulation by delivering presentations to share their knowledge with their peers. Building Mental Health Together Registration in our Building Mental Health Together series has more than doubled since we first launched these webinars in 2021. • These webinars explore how to overcome career trauma, manage stress, build connections in isolated environments, and prioritize self-care in high-pressure situations. • Registration for the four sessions grew to 1,704 attendees in 2024 from 1,273 attendees in 2023.
Did you know? Registrants participate in professional development activities every year to maintain skills and fulfil regulatory requirements. They can meet CPD requirements in several ways, including volunteering, attending courses, or sharing experiential case studies and innovations at professional development sessions. Our five most popular webinars had a combined 2,948 registrations. • Hydro Power Mega Project: Lessons Learned, with George Jergeas, P.Eng. • Enhancing Asset New in 2024 We invited members-in-training to present virtual sessions to registrants.
