OSPE HUB EXCHANGE

OSPE
Hubs
Update
OSPE launched hubs in
five cities across Ontario in
September 2019: Hamilton,
Kingston, Toronto, Windsor
and Guelph. The OSPE
Hubs are gathering points
for engineering graduates,
professional members,
retirees, and students who
are either living or working
in the area.

I

n the winter of 2020, the Toronto Hub, in partnership with Ryerson
University, and the Hamilton Hub, in partnership with McMaster University,
hosted panels targeting upper year and recently graduated students. The
panels consisted of individuals who had graduated from an engineering
discipline but had all chosen markedly different careers.

As the OSPE Hubs are ambassador driven, each Hub can analyze and identify a need
specific for their community. The next step is working with OSPE to create a public
engagement event or method that works to remedy the identified issue.

The Windsor Hub, in partnership with the University of Windsor, identified a lack of
professional development for engineering students in the city. The Hub is now working
with Windsor's alumni to host a professional development speaker series. This will
allow members of the engineering community in Windsor to come together and hear
success stories, as well as have a chance to network with their fellow University of
Windsor graduates.
OSPE also partook in the Ontario Engineering Competition, held at the University of
Guelph from January 17-19, 2020. The competition brought together students from
across the province to participate in eight unique competitions inspired by the theme,
"Improve Life". OSPE participated by helping to judge competitions and was thrilled
to partake in the spirit of the weekend!
The OSPE Hub's increased participation has seen this reflected in new memberships
and attendance in our engagement series-particularly our Young Professional Focus
Groups.
Since December 2019, OSPE has held three Young Professionals Focus groups
in Toronto, Ottawa, and Windsor. These groups have allowed OSPE some insight
into the needs and requirements of members in their early careers. OSPE uses this
participation to inform future decisions and new pathways for the organization.
OSPE continues to foster new relationships with diverse engineering communities.
In the new year, we are eager to add new universities to the Hubs initiative. Drop us a
line if you'd like to be involved at your university and keep an eye on our social media
channel for announcements.
