Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and acknowledging staying safe and healthy is everyone’s first priority, we have extended the 2020 Call for Applications for the ICA New Professionals Programme until the end of June 2020.  
This extension aligns with the ICA’s decision to postpone the ICA Abu Dhabi Congress, as successful applicants of the 2020 New Professionals Programme will be supported to attend and present at the Congress when it is held in 2021.  
The New Professionals Programme represents an incredible opportunity for new professionals from across the world to be introduced to leaders in the archival field, receive a mentor to help guide their career development, develop and implement a group project that will foster and support the global new professional community, and be supported to attend and present alongside their fellow new professionals at the ICA Abu Dhabi Congress. 
The ICA New Professionals Programme gives you a rare opportunity to meet and interact with amazingly supportive colleagues from across the world…Apply for the programme and mark the beginning of your journey to becoming a renowned information management professional – Chaterera Forget, 2019 Active New Professional. 
We are looking for future leaders in the archival and recordkeeping profession to join the New Professionals Programme. We encourage potential applicants – archival and recordkeeping students, and anyone who started working in the profession in 2015 or later – to apply for the New Professionals Programme, and those who may know potential applicants to encourage and support their applications.
