What is the Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS)?
Founded in 1958, CIPS is Canada’s association of Information Technology (IT) professionals, representing IT workers on issues affecting the IT profession and industry. (Just as engineers are members of a professional association, Information Technology workers are also members of a professional association–CIPS.) CIPS is involved in a number of initiatives related to public policy, setting standards within the IT profession and assisting its community. Three of the main programs are the certification of IT professionals (Information Systems Professional of Canada – I.S.P. designation); the accreditation of computer science, software engineering, and MIS programs in Canadian colleges and universities; and the organization of a Women in IT program to educate high school girls about career opportunities in IT. CIPS also offers a variety of other benefits and services to its members ranging from a Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct to educational events and networking opportunities.
