Course Overview

Project Management is a key skill that has been witnessing growing demand due to the increasing scale and complexity of projects being undertaken across all industries. Demand over the next 10 years for project managers is growing faster than demand for workers in other occupations. Organizations, however, face risks from this talent gap.

The latest PMI-commissioned talent gap analysis by Anderson Economic Group (AEG) points to outstanding opportunities in jobs and career growth for project managers within the 11 countries studied. Through 2027, the project management-oriented labor force in seven project-oriented sectors is expected to grow by 33 percent or nearly 22 million new jobs.

By 2027, employers will need nearly 88 million individuals in project management-oriented roles. Talent shortages in the profession can potentially create risks of nearly US$208 billion in GDP over the 10-year period in the 11 countries examined.
