Education and training: The third pillar of comsoc [The President's Page]

This month’s President’s Page is devoted to the initiatives and plans of the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) in the area of education and training. Enhancing the IEEE societies’ activities in the area of education and training is one of the strategic goals of IEEE, and it has been recognized as such also by ComSoc’s strategic and planning committee (see the January 2015 President’s Page). Education and training can be developed as the third pillar of ComSoc’s major technical activities and a revenue source to complement the two existing pillars: publications and conferences.
