The future of the dam industry rests in the hands of its next generation of professionals. In his insightful article, Brandon Pearce, ANCOLD National Young Professionals Convenor, highlights the pivotal role the ANCOLD Young Professionals (YP) group plays in shaping the future of the industry. Established in 2010, the YP group has grown significantly, providing learning and networking opportunities to professionals across member organisations. Brandon reflects on the numerous milestones achieved in the past year, from the launch of the ANCOLD mentoring programme to the highly successful “Life of a Dam” webinar series.
The YP group is dedicated to fostering knowledge transfer, promoting best practices, and ensuring the continued growth of professionals through initiatives such as technical panels, site visits, and social networking events. With a clear focus on developing the next generation of leaders, the ANCOLD YP group is empowering young professionals to contribute to and thrive in the dam industry. Brandon’s article also discusses the broader impact of these efforts on the global stage, with Australia poised to influence young professional development internationally at ICOLD24 in New Delhi.
