 PMI Mexico Chapter uses PMIEF Resources to Create a Project Management Program for Youth: The program, a robotics competition for youth, utilized the PMIEF PM Skills for Life as a basis for their PM training materials. The competition was very successful with over 1000 students, teachers, and parents participating. The end result: more than 400 students now have a basic understanding of project management and new skills they will carry throughout their lives. The chapter is already planning their 2011 competition. To learn more read this article.
PMIEF & Volunteers from 3 Chapters in North Carolina, USA Help Create Statewide High School PM Curriculum: PMIEF and volunteers from the PMI Metrolina, PMI North Carolina, and PMI Piedmont Triad Chapters are participating in a state sponsored task force to develop a series of four project management high school courses for the State of North Carolina. After the courses are developed, the State of North Carolina will implement them in all of its high schools and will present the courses to 11 other U.S. states participating in a regional development committee. These other states may also choose to adopt the courses in their high school programs. PMIEF, its volunteers, and PMI Chapters are truly breaking new ground in providing youth with the tools they need to prepare for the workforce and succeed in life!
Coming Soon!
- Updates on teacher training for primary and secondary schools
- New translations to be posted
- Information on PMIEF's participation in a state advisory committee to create a course in project management for Career in Technical Education high schools in the State of Washington, USA.
