Who are you?
Welcome from the Chairman
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Young Professionals Group (YPG) website. With nearly 23,000 members, we are the largest membership group within BCS and are dedicated to supporting and representing those in the foundation years of their career.
Run almost entirely by volunteers, we are an energetic group who work collectively on a variety of initiatives throughout the UK, such as networking and soft skills events - all of which aim to benefit our members and the wider IT profession.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any comments, queries or wish to get more actively involved. We would be delighted to hear from you.
