PMIEF & Volunteers from 3 PMI Chapters in North Carolina, USA Help Create 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!
