A professional association is also known as a 'professional body' and is a group that represents the interests of a particular industry. As umbrella organisations, they can assist individuals and organisational members through learning, networking, quality control and research. Most professions will have a professional association or body and many of these associations will have a student membership option where you can gain industry insights and contacts.
