What is GSE Professional Recognition?
Professional recognition provides acknowledgement of your skills by obtaining internationally recognised status through joining a community of professional scientists and engineers. The Government Science and Engineering (GSE) Profession considers professional recognition as any form of recognition from a professional body. Be that as a member, a registered scientist, technician, incorporated engineer or becoming fully chartered.
Why is professional recognition important?
