Working with you: The IChemE Regional Engagement Team

The IChemE Regional Engagement Team is your main point of connection to the Institution, helping employer partners access the full range of opportunities available to support your organisation, your people, and the wider profession.
Our role is to work with you to translate IChemE’s global offer into practical, local value. This includes supporting professional registration and Chartership, ACTS-accredited training schemes, process safety and sustainability initiatives, policy engagement, awards and recognition, outreach and talent pipeline activity, and technical and vocational education pathways.
We also help you:

- access discounted training and IChemE Safety Centre membership
- showcase your organisation through events, webinars, and awards
- engage in DiscoverChemEng outreach and early careers activity
- align your workforce strategy with apprenticeships, T Levels, and HTQs
- through on-site sessions, workshops, and tailored briefings, we raise awareness of IChemE within organisations and support your engineers at every career stage.
