Abstract
The IEEE is currently planning an extensive workforce development (WFD) programme through its volunteer and associated networks. Together with environmental scans, potential learning areas and contributing partners are being solicited. The Institute of Physics has an established workshop in Entrepreneurship for Scientists and Engineers, which may partially fulfil this role. This paper describes the format and content of this workshop, constructively evaluating it keeping in mind metrics relating to WFD. Future value-adds for IEEE involvement are identified.
