"Since I joined the program, I have received two promotions at work. I now manage a U.S. $250 million budget for a major bank division. These career opportunities were directly the results of the changes in my vocabulary and the tools I had in my pocket."

Richard Stockton, MBA
Graduate, Project Management Program
School of Management, University of Texas at Dallas (USA)

Your student's professional development begins with the receipt of their own copy of the latest edition of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), the global resource on project management used to shape both professional practice and educational curricula around the world. Of perhaps even greater value is the opportunity for students to become a part of the international project management community by joining hundreds of PMI components located around the world.

Career Support
PMI believes that development is a career-long process, which begins in the classroom. Students' participation in your accredited program translates to credits that will apply toward the requirements for PMI's international certification.

Our support continues by providing career planning and employment resources valuable to graduates seeking their first position as well as experienced professionals looking to advance their career. Resources include access to PMI Career HQ, the opportunity to engage PMI Career Coaching Services, a specialized project management employment site as well as the use of PMI PathPro™, the proprietary career assessment and planning tool.

Leadership Development
The days where project managers were those who just made sure the projects were delivered on time and on schedule are long gone. In today's fast-changing world, project managers have to become project leaders. That's why PMI created the Leadership Institute, a robust development and training program open to any active member of a PMI community or volunteer on a PMI project team.
