PMP Training for Youth

Bi-Trax presents the route to achieving the knowledge and expertise that will help you display excellence in project management, on any type of project in any industry at affordable fee.

Introduction
In today’s digital world, what employers are looking for may surprise you. They assume you’re going to be technologically literate and that you have the skills that are specific to your industry. Once you have the basics, they want to know that you can perform, achieve results and play well with others.

According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers Job Outlook 2008 survey, employers rated communication skills, and honesty and integrity equally at the top of their list of what they look for in potential employees. Following closely behind these were: interpersonal skills, motivation/initiative, strong work ethic and teamwork skills.

What struck me as I read those skills was that all of them are inherent in Project Management, and it emphasized what I’ve believed for years: PM is a career accelerator- the No. 1 recession-proof career of the future.

Project management is quickly becoming the method of management for more and more industries. Projects are being done for everything from building the largest skyscrapers to planning the smallest wedding.

It will continue to be a highly desired skill in the midst of great change.

Bi-TraxAxxent Intervention.
We have observed with concerns that many youth would have loved to acquire this timeless skill. Unfortunately, they are challenged by the “unfriendly” fee being charged by training institutes.

Bi-TraxAxxent, as part of her Youth Development initiatives, therefore decided to come to the rescue of these leaders of tomorrow by organizing the course at a friendly fee. It is our belief that through this, we are helping them get their dream job besides the skills they will learn during the training which will help them develop creative solutions for pursuing their goals (employment or business development)- especially during this difficult economic time.
