Project Management
Do you like to get things done? Do you like to organize people and make sure deadlines are met? Are you a good communicator? If so, you have natural project management skills. The challenge is applying your natural ability to get things done or desire to provide more organization and value for a current or potential employer. First, you need to understand the methodology behind your natural ability and desire to secure a new role or job; it’s called project management.

Using real-world scenarios, the program is designed to provide you with an understanding of how project management is used in industries such as Information Technology, Health Care, Government, and Finance, to name a few. Every industry uses project management; it is a versatile skill to have.
