Students learn how to plan projects, how to set up and organize tasks, how to administer projects within project-oriented enterprises, and how to work within, as well as lead, project teams. The program covers all the fundamentals of project, portfolio and program management and the essential principles associated with project management offices (PMO). Particular emphasis is placed on developing the ability to co-ordinate culturally diverse teams to face a wide spectrum of challenges, and the skills required for successful ex*****on of projects. The course combines technical skills training with an understanding of the larger context of projects and their human, cultural and social elements. In this way it trains future leaders and shapes them into sought after professionals on both the local and international job markets.
