Providing practical support for Members who have lost their jobs

We continue to support IC professionals and our members who may have lost their jobs and promote the value of the IC industry during the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic.

We’ve had lots of positive feedback from Members across the country for our useful best practice advice; for sharing of resources; for connecting people through events; and for continuing to offer high quality learning and development opportunities.

But we also recognise the extreme and exceptional difficulties being encountered by people in our industry, especially those who may have lost their jobs.
