Design a logo for CIPS’ 65th anniversary and you could win a $250 Amazon Gift Card!

CIPS will be celebrating our 65th anniversary in 2023! In September of 1958 a conference was held at the University of Toronto to talk about common concerns of data processing workers. That conference demonstrated the value of sharing ideas, networking with fellow professionals and learning about coming changes in technology, and the practices and management of information systems. This event sparked the formation of the Computing and Data Processing Society. In 1968 the Society changed its name to the current “Canadian Information Processing Society”.

As part of the 65th anniversary celebrations CIPS is looking for a special 65th anniversary version of the CIPS logo which will be used by CIPS throughout 2023. CIPS invites members of CIPS Provincial Societies to put their graphic design skills to use and design a CIPS 65th anniversary logo. If your logo is selected you will receive a $250 Amazon Gift Card!

CIPS Certification

CIPS has released a new CIPS Certification Application! This new single application is for all CIPS Designations (AITP, I.S.P., and ITCP) and application routes, and applicants will be provided with the designation(s) that meet their education and experience.

This new Certification application utilizes the CIPS IT Skills Assessment tool for the Experience section which identifies your current IT skills, skills gaps, and the skills required to progress in your career.

IT skills are assessed using SFIA (Skills Framework for the Information Age), which is a technical competency and skills framework that provides a method of mapping an individual’s professional skills to a set of internationally relevant standard definitions.
