Globally metrologists are in short supply and are an aging workforce. The MSA like other metrology associations around the world are promoting measurement science as a career pathway – the planet needs more metrologists.
Becoming a metrologist is a smart move and MSA is keen to educate, train, and develop measurement scientists in our region. To this end the MSA supports metrology education in several ways.
Our economies need more kids learning STEM subjects and the MSA loves seeing young people learn about measurement. The MSA and its members pair with organisations to help foster a love of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Read about some of the programmes our measurement community are involved with.
Metrology day events in New Zealand and Australia with guest speakers on emerging technologies and scientific advances. A great opportunity to meet fellow meteorologists in your country or state. Education events bring Metrology to the public, especially the school-aged who are to become the next generation of meteorologists.
For those who are starting out in a career in metrology or would like more knowledge, check out courses that the MSA have helped to create.
These online Metrology micro credential courses are approved by the New Zealand Qualification Authority and are offered free to NZ based laboratory staff.
