Enlisting as a professional or trade association member separates you from the competition in your respective industry. This is particularly useful if you seek new positions, career growth, or an expansion of skill sets and knowledge bases.
Participation in professional associations demonstrates that you are committed to advancing in the industry. This will also reflect that you have devoted time to consistent development and advancement inside your career path. For prospective employers, this is often the difference between similarly-qualified candidates.
A professional association refers to a membership-based, typically non-profit organization (NPO) that seeks to further the interests of its members in a given profession or industry. These organizations can also act as a helpful networking resource for their members, i.e., a platform to expand your knowledge base on any given trade.
The following is a list of ways professional organizations help their members:
Joining a professional association provides you access to a pool of experts, each intent on furthering their interests by helping others in their field. This allows members to leverage various professional certifications and find ample opportunities to expand their skillset. Additionally, many associations have volunteer leader opportunities that give you a place to develop key leadership skills in “safe” environment.
Joining one or more professional associations increases your credibility with potential employers. This shows that you have more than a passing interest in your job's success. For example, a LinkedIn profile is an effective way to display affiliation with a particular trade while also verifying your expertise and professional achievements.
Most professional associations provide members with learning opportunities to help them grow and develop new capabilities, sometimes more often than professional development and certification programs.
Membership in a professional or trade association provides a definitive advantage in career growth. Your status shows companies that you are committed to your profession and willing to learn and develop continually toward a goal that means more than securing a paycheck.
Professional associations are an excellent method for staying up-to-date on recent trends and news. Associations provide information on innovative shifts, process changes, and best practices that provide valuable advancement in your career knowledge base.
Many associations give consistent data about companies looking to fill employment positions. This can be an excellent method for scouting your next big job or even finding a career.
Professional associations usually have national and regional headquarters where you can connect with colleagues, either locally or on a much larger scale. As a member, you can connect easily, generating a deep network of like-minded individuals with similar goals.
Professional and Trade associations also sponsor events and meetings where you can meet influential leaders of the field and create lifelong partnerships. Matchplicity® can assist these efforts by connecting you with local associations that are respectable and involved.
