Project Management
Description
About the Certificate:
Project management skills continue to be in demand and highly valued. In fact, the Project Management Institute (PMI)’s Talent Gap 2021* report says 2.3 million new project management employees will be needed each year to meet global talent demands by 2030. This opens new job opportunities for project management-oriented employment for project professionals, team members, and those seeking to change or advanced their careers by adding these skills. If you want transformation and/or change, regardless of your role, be inspired and equipped to drive the transition you seek with project management and turn ideas into reality.
As more sectors, industries and organizations become project-oriented, this certificate and its courses, will equip you with the project management knowledge and skills needed to succeed. Begin your project management journey with this certificate. Our curriculum is comprehensive and robust. Practical application exercises and real-life group projects, rather than exams, help you build the skills valued in the workplace and beyond.
