    Description


    Driving change one project at a time.
     
    Project management is the roadmap for reaching goals, and project managers are the drivers. Through their strategic management skills, they help improve the success of planned initiatives by establishing objectives and goals, clear roles and responsibilities, timelines, and monitoring and reporting, among other critical project requirements.
     
    Today’s project-oriented economy requires highly trained managers to plan for change and innovation across every industry. Analysis shows that the demand for project managers is growing faster than that for workers in other occupations, putting them at the forefront of immense opportunities.[1]
     
    Through this two-semester Post Diploma in Project Management you will develop robust skills and competencies to successfully implement projects that align with organizational strategic plans. You will acquire the techniques and tools to communicate effectively with colleagues, promote teamwork and successfully plan and implement projects that lead to successful business developments. Whether you're a manager, project manager or member of a team, these skills will help you to stay on track and motivate others.
     
    With this training you can advance your first credential or work experience to transform your career journey. Set a course today!
