Davis focuses on the growth of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). As an ITE member since his undergraduate days at Purdue University, he'd witnessed the organization's growth and ...evolution. Serving in various roles, from editor of the Indiana Section newsletter to president of two ITE Districts and two Sections, along with two terms on the International Board of Direction, ITE has been integral to his professional journey. In 2024, ITE embarks on a new chapter with a fresh Executive Director Steve Kuciemba, Chief Technical Officer Matt Hardy, and a Strategic Plan guiding their actions for the next 3 years. He is excited to share his vision and plans for the year ahead, confident that, with the member's support, they can make significant strides in alignment with their new Strategic Plan. As they kick off this year, he's introducing initiatives to enhance their ITE experience.
Kuciemba looks back at the past 12 months of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). ITE members helped stage a number of fantastic meetings, cranked out a record number of publications, the ...membership is at its highest level ever, young professional and student engagements are on fire, they had almost 40 highly attended webinars, the transportation planners are getting involved--the list goes on and on. Furthermore, he looks ahead about what 2024 will have to offer. Year one of the new Strategic Plan lays out a thoughtful yet bold set of initiatives that will help the ITE be more vocal about safety, broaden the international engagement of ITE members, and continue to offer unique opportunities for professionals to grow their skills. In the next 12 months the Districts and Sections are offering so many great prospects for ITE members to get involved, share knowledge, or simply network with other stakeholders in the community. The LeadershipITE program--now beginning its 11th class--continues to blossom. And with the dual emphasis on both the fundamental engineering aspects while broadening engagement with planners, data scientists, and other professionals, it's easy to see how the industry will benefit from the community-based focus.
With concerns about competency and safety increasing, demand for building control surveyors is likewise on the rise – so one training programme is seeking to attract new recruits into the profession

Les professionnels qui s’occupent des personnes âgées dans les établissements de santé possèdent plusieurs identités, à la fois aidants dans la relation avec la personne âgée et spécialistes de la ...pratique dans les interactions interprofessionnelles, ils s’adaptent en permanence au contexte, aux individus et à la réalité qui s’imposent à eux. Cette double identité pose des questions quant aux compétences de ces professionnels qui doivent être capables de présenter des qualités humaines d’écoute, d’empathie dans leurs échanges avec les personnes âgées mais également des capacités strictement professionnelles englobant la maîtrise du lexique spécialisé et les implicites spécifiques à la pratique dans les communications interprofessionnelles. Pour cet article, nous nous servirons d’un corpus récolté dans un organisme de formation des professionnels du soin et de l’aide et dans un établissement de santé pour les personnes âgées. Nous nous intéresserons aux communications interprofessionnelles à travers la problématique de l’interdiscursivité dans les transmissions orales. Les professionnels se servent effectivement de discours pour justifier des soins apportés ou pour rapporter des éléments qu’ils jugent importants de soumettre aux autres professionnels dans le cadre du suivi des soins pour la personne âgée. Nous verrons que les discours partagés en transmissions orales relèvent d’implicites spécifiques à la pratique professionnelle maîtrisés par tous les membres de la communauté de pratique.
Professionals who take care of the elderly, particularly in health establishments, have several identities, both helpers in the relationship with the elderly and specialists in practice in interprofessional interactions, they constantly adapt to the context, to the individuals and the reality. This double identity raises questions about the skills of these professionals who both must be able to present human qualities of listening, empathy in their exchanges with the elderly but also strictly professional capacities including mastery of the specialized lexicon and the practice specific implicit in interprofessional communications. For this article, we will use a corpus collected from both a training organization for care and aid professionals and a health facility for the elderly. We will focus on interprofessional communications through the issue of interdiscursiveness in oral transmissions. Professionals do use discourse to justify the care provided or to report elements that they consider important to submit to other professionals as part of the follow-up of care for the elderly. Through this issue of interdiscusivity, we will see that the discourses shared in oral transmissions are implicit specific to professional practice, mastered by all members of the community of practice.
Depuis les années 2000, les professionnels du conseil revendiquent explicitement des savoirs et des compétences en ce qui concerne le « langage », quand ils parlaient, précédemment, davantage de « ...rédaction » ou de « récit ». Notre contrat doctoral, financé par le dispositif CIFRE au sein d’une agence de conseil, nous a amenée à considérer de près ces savoirs dont la mise en discours participe pleinement aux conditions de production des discours d’entreprise, au coeur de notre recherche. Cet article propose de revenir sur ces métadiscours pour expliquer 1) ce que sont ces savoirs et en quoi ils s’organisent en système, en idéologie, 2) comment ils influencent les pratiques professionnelles des prestataires de conseil, aussi bien au moment de la prospection de nouveaux clients qu’au cours de la mission et 3) comment cela contribue à faire valoir l’expertise des professionnels du conseil. Il s’agit, ce faisant, de montrer comment s’articulent théories du langage, pratiques professionnelles de l’écriture et statut de l’expert, et comment cela participe aux structures socioprofessionnelles et de la symbolique des discours corporate.
Since the 2000s, consulting professionals have explicitly been claiming to detain “language” skills and knowledge, whereas it was previously a question of “writing” or “storytelling”. Our doctoral contract, financed by the CIFRE scheme within a consultancy agency (as an applied PhD agreement), allowed us to take a closer look at the discourse embodiment of this knowledge, which plays a vital part in conditioning the production of corporate discourse, and which is at the heart of our study. This article proposes to revisit these metadiscourses in order to explain 1) what these different kinds of knowledge are and how they are organised into a system, an ideology, 2) how they influence the professional practices of consultancy service providers, both when prospecting for new clients and during the course of an assignment, and 3) how this contributes to the promotion of consultancy professionals’ expertise. The aim is to show how theories of language, professional writing practices and the status of the expert are articulated, and how this contributes to the socio-professional structures and symbolism of corporate discourses.
A intervenção individualizada estruturada através do treino personalizado é uma ferramenta importante para os profissionais de exercício físico e um serviço de potencial relevo na saúde e bem-estar ...dos praticantes. O treino personalizado é uma prática desenvolvida nacionalmente por milhares de profissionais e relativamente comum em vários contextos, onde os ginásios e health clubs se destacam em particular. Considerando a reduzida produção nacional de literatura neste tópico, e assumindo a importância e relevância da emissão de recomendações atualizadas e que derivem de limitações concretas observadas em contexto de prática, este artigo apresenta como objetivo principal emitir orientações e recomendações operacionais que permitam uma aferição e regulação do trabalho implementado neste contexto, visando uma reflexão crítica e melhoria do serviço prestado. As recomendações emitidas também procuram, em acréscimo ao apoio associado ao desempenho da função profissional, ajudar na clarificação do que deverá constituir e delimitar a prestação deste serviço perante a visão de um praticante, apontando um caminho que vise uma uniformização de comportamentos e ações ética e profissionalmente recomendáveis, que possam e devam ser assumidas na prestação do treino personalizado, e permitam criar uma imagem social mais clara, objetiva e delimitada deste serviço individualizado.
