Sarah's Story
After my 2016 engineering graduation, I procrastinated starting my P.Eng. application, not realizing the scope and scale of the competencies.
I unintentionally prevented heartache by having explored some different positions as an EIT, as while writing my application I realized if I had stayed in a previous technical role I wouldn’t have satisfied all the requirements. My friends and coworkers expressed a host of other issues, from word count struggles to not knowing how their experiences applied to the competencies.
All these experiences showed a pattern of challenges for EITs in this process. This inspired me to found PYPD, aiming to make P.Eng. applications straightforward and accessible for all EITs, preventing the anxiety and challenges I found.
