IoIC Fellows are an elite group of IC professionals who have been judged by their peers to have made a significant contribution to their profession.
Why apply for a Fellowship?
For starters, it brings advantages over and above the standard Member benefits – and not just being able to add the letters FIIC to your name.
“It’s a public, highly respected quality mark and is also becoming a prerequisite for many employers seeking to recruit for senior IC roles,” says IoIC president Suzanne Peck. “As an institute, we value the diversity that professionals with differing backgrounds and abilities bring to the sector and we want to continue to recognise effective contribution.”
Being a Fellow will also open up new opportunities, sharing your expertise and knowledge with other IoIC members at national and regional levels and through mentoring activities.
Eligibility
You must be shaping the strategy, design, delivery or management of IC, or
- Be responsible for a significant portfolio of IC projects or people, or
- Be acknowledged as an expert in a particular IC subject area, or
- Be delivering IC education and training.
Applications
Fellowship applications are reviewed by the panel twice a year as follows:
- Applications deadline: 30 April
- Fellowships announced: June
- Applications deadline: 30 September
- Fellowships announced: November
To apply, complete the application form and, if successful at that stage, you may be asked to sit an interview panel to verify your experience and commitment to internal communication.
