Message from the Chair: David Carnegie, P.Eng.

Ontario Society of Professional Engineers

As Chair of OSPE’s Board of Directors, I see progress in our profession’s culture, yet barriers to advancement, fair pay and equitable opportunities persist.

Many engineering graduates are not working in engineering fields, and regulatory frameworks are not keeping pace with emerging technologies or the evolving needs of engineering practice.

Guided by OSPE’s strategic pillars Unite, Lead, Care and Prosper, we are committed to collective action. This report serves as both a catalyst and blueprint for government, industry, academia and the engineering community to collaborate on meaningful change.

Together, we can create a thriving professional community that attracts, develops, and retains diverse talent to address the world’s most pressing needs and large-scale challenges.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
