Professional Development

The PMI Chapter emphasizes the essential need for project managers to continuously enhance their skills to keep up with evolving technologies, changing markets, and increasing stakeholder expectations. Through ongoing education, certifications, and networking opportunities, the chapter helps project managers stay updated with industry trends and develop the tools needed to manage complexities and achieve successful project outcomes. This commitment supports project managers in excelling in their roles and advancing the project management profession.

The PMI Chapter’s Outreach Program, "Project Management as a Life Skill," equips secondary school students with fundamental project management skills. Supported by SA Water, this program has been successfully implemented at Pembroke School, Blackwood High School, and St George College. The program involves teaching project management phases and terminology through relatable activities, enhancing students' understanding and application of these skills.

The PMI Chapter’s Mentorship Program connects experienced project managers with emerging professionals, creating a dynamic environment for knowledge exchange and professional growth. This program helps mentees develop essential project management skills while also strengthening the community by fostering lasting professional relationships.
