Session Summary:
How is PMI supporting universities and next generation of project managers’ involvement in project management? How can practitioners be involved in this journey?
PMI Academic services and resources look for advancing the profession through research and education programs, informing the practice of project management and the real-world application of research results. In this conference, we describe first the role of the PMI Global Accreditation Center GAC, specific PMI services and activities for students and opportunities for practitioners to be involved in academia. Then, we propose some discussion questions for the participants to identify how we can support students and young professionals in the field of project management.
PMI GAC aims to ensure that project management programs (and other related programs) prepare students to meet business and government organizations' current and anticipated needs for qualified professionals in the field. Accredited universities and students get access to different services and products, such scholarships, students’ clubs, communities of practices, free access to PMI materials, among others. Practitioners can also contribute to improving training in project management by participating in the accreditation process or supporting students in their preparation.
