A unique alternative to traditional job posting sites, the PEIC career portal will enable applicants to create blind profiles to be matched against employment opportunities. The innovative process was developed by PEIC’s Diversity & Inclusion Working Group, which is chartered with developing programs to educate and encourage a new generation of highly skilled workers in power electronics, including women and under-represented minorities.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce PEIC’s new career portal at APEC, and encourage attending universities and companies with internship programs to utilize this complimentary service, and consider joining us in our efforts to create a more diverse, skilled, and innovative workforce,” said Nanci Vogtli, president of PEIC. “Membership provides opportunities for students and recent graduates to participate in PEIC’s working groups to enhance their leadership and collaboration skills which are so essential in today’s workplace.”
“As a young engineer, the opportunities to speak at PEIC sponsored special sessions at industry conferences and participate in the Diversity & Inclusion Working Group have provided me with valuable networking and learning experiences,” said Minyu Cai, Power Electronics Engineer at PEIC member company Cummins, Inc. “As a PEIC member, Cummins sees real value in launching this new career portal to promote a more diversified workforce, which resonates with one of our core values—diversity and inclusion.”
