24 Teachers Participate in PM Training Course
| |
Teacher Training Course a New First!
In July, PMIEF sponsored it's first 3 day training course for 24 primary and secondary school teachers in Kennewick, Washington, USA!
This classroom style "teacher" only training course was a tremendous success and was conducted at no cost to attendees with the support of PMIEF, the Cadence Management Corporation, the Kennewick School District, and volunteers from the PMI Columbia River Basin Chapter and PNNL. Teachers learned how project management skills, techniques, and terminology may be used to help them better implement project based learning in their classroom.
According to one teacher, the training "validated the project based learning process we've been using ... and closed some gaps that we didn't even know we had until this week."
Most importantly, the training will help these teachers use projects to teach traditional subjects, thus helping their students build much needed 21st century skills such as teamwork, leadership, collaboration, and communication. THE END RESULT - their students will be better prepared to enter the workplace. |

Building Better Futures Campaign Wraps Up

Campaign Report
PMIEF works diligently to build the future workforce and improve society through its many programs and educational resources for youth, teachers, and nonprofit organizations. This work would not be feasible without the latest expansion of PMIEF programs, made possible by a recently concluded fundraising campaign called Building Better Futures.
To review the report click here. The map on pages six and seven provides examples of the wide ranging and positive effects that PMIEF, its volunteers, and others using PMIEF resources are having around the globe, demonstrating how the power of the project management can be used for social good. |
Volunteers Needed |
PMIEF Chapter Liaison Volunteers help leverage project managment for social good - but more are needed.
To date, more than 40 PMI chapters have agreed to create PMIEF Chapter Liaison volunteer positions. This newly created volunteer role will be the conduit of information from PMIEF to the chapter and back from the chapter to PMIEF.
PMIEF is frequently introducing new educational resources available for use in your local community for teachers, schools, students, nonprofits/NGOs, youth organizations, and for social good in general. Unfortunately, you and your colleagues often do not hear about it.
A PMIEF Chapter Liaison will keep you and your fellow PMI Chapter Members in the loop on resources as they are made available. The PMIEF Liaison will also share back to PMIEF how your chapter members are using these resources as well as what new resources you would like to see created or what you need to help leverage project management for social good in your community.
