PMI Northern Italy Chapter Expands Programs for Youth:
The PMI Northern Italy Chapter has been teaching primary school students project management since 2006. To view the materials the chapter created and uses click here. These materials are also available in Italian, English, Spanish, and French.
Recently, the chapter expanded its program to a secondary school in Turin, Italy. The chapter also has a new program in Gorizia, titled Green Projects Award, which involves 5 primary schools and will provide an award for the best project. We will keep you updated as we learn more about this new initiative.
15 North Carolina Teachers Taught Project Management:
 In September, we told you about volunteers from three PMI chapters who are helping to create four secondary school courses in project management for the State of North Carolina. Once finished, these new courses will be implemented in all high schools in the state. As teachers will be teaching the courses in the classroom, a key component to successful implementation will be to introduce these teachers to project management, gather their input, and teach them how to teach project management. The first group of 15 teachers from business, communications, and welding were chosen to receive a one day introductory course in project management. The class was taught by Dr. Paul M. Di Gangi, Assistant Professor at Western Carolina University. Going forward, a plan will be developed to provide project management training to all teachers who will be teaching the project management courses.
