Maximizing member value with an eye to the future
Gain our society values toward future generations!
The Japan Professional Engineers Association (JSPE) is a professional organization that brings together a diverse range of engineers with a US Professional Engineer (PE) license.In order to contribute to public health, safety, and welfare as a PE, members shall perform their duties in accordance with high ethical standards and professional standards of conduct, and at the same time, continuously improve themselves in order to follow the progress of engineering. is doing.
In order to achieve VISION 2021, which was formulated in 2030 [Create a system that takes advantage of the diversity of generations, fields, and races to help members improve their skills not only in technical fields but also as individual engineers], in 2022, With the slogan "Building a Base Camp", we have been building a system that allows us to continuously obtain the support necessary for fulfilling our roles as engineers in Japan. By doing so, we have been able to eliminate time constraints on attending seminars and diversity is also increasing. However, most of the information disseminated by JSPE is limited to seminars, and it is also difficult to see the benefits that go beyond the financial burden required to obtain a PE license, so PE is not widely recognized in Japan. . In addition, there remain issues with future continuity of activities if management is led by directors. Therefore, this year, with the slogan "Maximize member value with an eye to the future," we will increase member-centered activities, disseminate information about the PE license itself, and increase the value of being a member of JSPE, a PE organization. I would like to focus on my activities.
- Increase in member-led activities
Many of JSPE's activities are planned and operated by the directors, with members participating. This methodIt is effective when starting up activities to a certain level, but the burden on the director in charge is a bottleneck.There is a risk that not only will there be an upper limit on the activities of the Neighborhood Association, but that the activities of the association will be affected by the increase or decrease in resources of the directors.Contains ku. The study session started in 2021 with the lead director and members as the main focus, and in 2022 he will expand from 1 to 3 sessions.This is an opportunity to expand activities across the board and provide value to members that is different from traditional seminars led by directors.It has become a meeting. In fiscal 2023, we will build a system that allows us to regularly grasp the ever-changing needs of our members.In addition to study sessions, we provide magazines, lectures, and external events to encourage members to actively participate in areas with high needs.I would like to increase the amount of information I collect about club events. In addition, we will introduce subscriptions for annual membership fees and events.By utilizing internal and external resources such as support members on a per-count basis, we can reduce the burden on directors and ensure the continuity of the association.I'm going to raise the bottom. Over the past three years, due to the lack of networking due to the coronavirus pandemic, we haveWe will also strengthen our efforts to attract new members and active members by inviting them to some events free of charge.
- Strengthen communication regarding PE license itself
Previously, JSPE's information dissemination to society was spot-on, centered on event information. This is event 16While it is effective for people who are interested in PE and engineering, it is also effective for people who are interested in PE and engineers themselves, and for those who are interested inThis cannot be said to be enough to make society aware of the value of licenses. Main SNS for disseminating information (Facebook/The same content is only posted on Instagram/Twitter), and non-members and the general public are not aware of JSPE's activities.Although opportunities to see media are increasing, the characteristics of each medium are not fully utilized. Continued advertising mediaIn addition to exploring effective methods of dissemination, including the addition ofHis past activities include introducing the activities of NSPE and NCEES, writing books, and publishing some magazine articles to the public.By periodically and diversifying fields and content that have not been widely disseminated, we are improving the PE license itself.We will improve society's awareness of this.
- Improving JSPE membership value
In Japan, although PE licenses have social value, it is difficult to see the economic benefits.In addition, the cost of obtaining a license is much higher than other domestic qualifications such as professional engineer, so it is difficult to obtain a license.Economic acquisition hurdles are high. In the United States, the PE license is a professional qualification and is directly linked to income.In many cases, the benefits outweigh the costs, but in Japan, self-improvement is strongly linked to income.There are many things I can't think of. Therefore, by creating opportunities to increase the mobility of PE license holders, they will be able to change jobs, etc.We are considering activities that JSPE can support, such as aiming for career advancement and improving the economic efficiency of licensing.do. At the same time, members are encouraged to interact with related cooperative organizations such as NSPE/PII/PMI/JPEC/Professional Engineers Association.By providing opportunities for participation, we can fulfill the lack of member interaction and provide opportunities for external exchange.At the same time, we will revitalize the activities of the association. In addition, on-demand services started as a trial in fiscal 2022.In addition to formalizing the seminars, we will not only make it possible to attend past seminars, but also offer discounts on tuition fees.We aim to improve member value by introducing additional functions.
