The Critical Path

Please join us for our next our next “Discover PMI - Ask Us Anything!” webinar, Ask Us Anything - DE&I at PMI: From Foundation to Integration on 29 March at 11:00AM ET.

In this installment of the Discover PMI – Ask Us Anything Series, we aim to put diversity, equity, and inclusion in the center of what we do. Because we are a global community, by nature, PMI, is diverse. Our community is made up of individuals from all walks of life, and varying industries, backgrounds, and regional locations. Something we don’t take for granted.  While we have for a long time honored our diverse community, PMI’s intentional work in this space started with discussions by the board at the end of 2019 asking what more can we do to honor our community? In 2020 we formally gathered an internal Core Team that laid the foundation for this program. Throughout the course of the last two years we have set a strong foundation for PMI’s presence and journey in this space. That foundation is solid and we are moving to integrate this work into all parts of the organization. 

By attending this FREE webinar, participants will learn more about DE&I at PMI and how they can make an impact as we work towards an equitable future.

Please join us for an informal and interactive discussion focused on DE&I at PMI!

Please join us for our next our next “Discover PMI - Ask Us Anything!” webinar, Ask Us Anything - PMI Certification Offerings through the Certification Framework! on 03 December at 12:00PM EST.

In this installment of the Discover PMI – Ask Us Anything Series, we will provide an overview of PMI’s Certification offerings through the Certification Framework. PMI was founded by volunteers in 1969 and since then has provided certifications and credentials to allow individuals to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.  Today’s employment market has been impacted by the disruption of traditional business models due to the continued move to a project oriented economy and global events impacting supply chains and the way individuals work.  No longer does the ‘corporate ladder’ meet the needs of employees.   The Certification Framework provides a view of the more ‘squiggly’ career paths that are coming into focus now and should be with us in the future. In this session, the Certification team will introduce and describe the breadth of products available and provide an opportunity for you to interact with the Product Owners.  

By attending this FREE webinar, you’ll walk away with the following outcomes:

• Participants will learn where to review the organization’s current certification and credential offerings.
• Participants will be able to identify how to utilize the tool to guide their individualized career path.
• Participants will know the requirements for each offering.
