Educational activities: helping careers flourish

Our world and its technology are in a constant state of flux. This is particularly evident for the communications and networking field. Society's needs change, technological innovation is ongoing, and businesses embrace new technologies to serve their customers while achieving business goals. All these significantly impact researchers, engineers and practitioners as they work to maintain professional viability in an ever more competitive job market. "Keeping up" is the key phrase in today's world. The Communications Society recognizes this, and through its educational activities strives to help its members and others "keep up" with the technologies and skills necessary to establish, maintain and grow one's career. This month, I am pleased to share the President's Column with Prof. Stefano Bregni, ComSoc's Director of Education, who will cover ComSoc's educational activities, aimed at helping careers flourish.
