Higher Ed CoP: Project Management as a Transferable Skill: Panel and Structured Discussions

This is a joint event between NCPMI Higher Education Community of Practice (HECoP) and Duke Project Management CoP - This is an in-person only event

 

Abstract

Do you find yourself frequently managing projects? Does your title reflect this work? These are questions you might ask yourself if you are a project manager, but have not yet made the leap into official project management. How can these skills take you into different industries such as clinical research, programming, or regulatory and quality? We have assembled a panel of experienced speakers who made the leap from academia to a wide array of project management positions. This diversity of job descriptions can help you envision where you want your career to grow and how project management can help you get there!

Learning Objectives:

Attendees will have a better understanding of:

 

How to successfully manage the transition to project management in a wide range of fields 

 

How people have grown into their roles and developed their project management skills with certifications and leadership positions
