How project management training can give you a career boost

Project management qualifications are key to professional progression in many sectors. Certifications are highly sought after in the private sector, while in global development, the ability to manage people, resources, time, and budget management is extremely valuable, and demand for them is increasing — particularly with growing trends in accountability.

There has been increasing demand for nonprofits to utilize project management tools to plan and outline their formulation process in order to be more accountable for the funding they receive, said Kemoy Liburd-Chow, counselor at the Embassy of St. Kitts and Nevis in the United States and certified project management professional from the Project Management Institute.

With time and experience, most people acquire a high level of skill in their particular field, but without project management skills, a certain level of seniority is difficult to get beyond.
