The Project Management Institute (PMI) is predicting a 33% increase in project management jobs world-wide and Canada is expected to add an estimated 9,000 project management jobs every year for the next 10 years. These predictions present opportunities for those with the right training and skills.

The one-year Project Management post-graduate certificate program provides degree graduates with a strong foundation in essential project management skills. The curriculum has been developed with input from industry stakeholders, which ensures students receive a relevant, work-focused learning experience. Students will study the fundamentals of project management, project initiation and planning, project scheduling and budgeting, directing and managing project work, procurement and contract management, alternative methodologies for project management, as well as project closing and evaluation. Several courses will help students prepare for Project Management Institute designation exams.

Saskatchewan Polytechnic gives students the opportunity to interact with industry through work-integrated learning opportunities, including course projects, and guest speakers. They will also build critical human skills through courses in leadership and professionalism, organizational behaviour and business communications.
