The ICFP Youth Committee is committed to championing the interests of young professionals in the commercial forensic industry. Under the leadership of its committee members, the group focuses on creating meaningful opportunities for professional development, mentorship, and networking, while also advocating for access to training and career advancement.
Over the past year, they have been actively building awareness of commercial forensic practice as a career, participating in university career days at NWU, Wits, and the University of Pretoria, and hosting webinars to equip young forensic practitioners with insights into industry standards and strategies to strengthen their professional profiles.
They are also working to promote diversity and inclusion in the field, foster relationships with potential employers, and support students with mentorship and internship opportunities.
Looking ahead, the committee plans to take this outreach further through school career events, podcasts, and community radio engagements, making sure the next generation of forensic practitioners knows the opportunities that await them.
Their vision is clear: to inspire, connect, and prepare young professionals to excel in a profession built on integrity, objectivity, and collaboration.
