Ask Devex: How valuable are project management certifications?

During this month’s event, Kate Warren, Devex executive vice president, discussed the value of project management certifications. Generally, it’s never a bad thing for your career development to pursue a project management certification, she advised.

The development sector has been a little behind other sectors in valuing or requiring these types of certifications — but things are starting to change, said Warren. Employers are increasingly looking for these certifications when hiring, and some are investing in these trainings for their current employees.
