Designed for Emerging Professionals, this framework provides a clear, structured pathway to guide your growth over two to three years – helping you build capability, confidence and readiness for professional recognition.

Are you an engineer in the early stages of your career?

The Emerging Professionals’ Development Framework is for you – learning you can complete in your own time and in your own way.

The framework is built to help you grow your professional capability, strengthen your judgement and communication skills, and develop the confidence to deliver great engineering outcomes. It guides your development as you progress in your career – expanding your experience across different areas of practice and reinforcing your commitment to professional growth.

If your employer is a Professional Development Partner (PDP), you can take part in their in-house programme, or you may be interested in Engineering New Zealand’s Early Career and Graduate Programme to support your development within the framework.

Completing the framework also puts you on the fast track to joining our Member class. Without it, you’ll only be eligible for Member class after five years.
