A diverse group of attendees sits together in a large conference room, smiling at the camera. They are wearing name tags and appear to be enjoying the event. The room is filled with rows of chairs, and more people can be seen seated in the background.

ASNT RISE Leadership Development Program

Join our year-long leadership program and elevate your career alongside other emerging NDT professionals. Connect, grow, and lead with us.

Applications for the next cohort open in spring 2025!

The ASNT RISE Leadership Development Program offers a unique one-year experience tailored for nondestructive testing (NDT) professionals with less than 10 years of work experience. Designed to equip participants with essential leadership tools, this program empowers them to lead the NDT industry into the future. Participants engage in a blend of in-person and online training, active event participation, and valuable mentorships as part of the ASNT RISE experience.

This year was my first time attending the Annual Conference, and I found these three benefits from the RISE program drastically improved my experience: an introduction to a network of other early-career members, arrival a day early to get established, and access to board members and leaders from the beginning."
