Advanced Project Management - Strategic Leadership 2179 Sault College

Program Description

The Advanced Project Management - Strategic Leadership program provides theoretical and practical knowledge to manage projects in a timely and cost-effective manner. This highly sought-after skill set provides valuable project management experience that is applicable across numerous industries. Closely aligned with the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) curriculum, the Sault College two-year graduate certificate program leverages the existing one-year program which introduces students to the systematic practice of managing individual and multiple projects through the application of current methods, tools, and technologies, and, in the second year of study, students in the two-year program engage in more expansive Project Management topics, including Agile, increasing the employability of graduates. In Semester Four, students will apply the knowledge and skills they gained throughout the program, in a work placement. Students will participate in either a paid work placement (co-op), or an unpaid work placement (field placement). Both options have 280 hours of participation. Meeting the requirements of a two-year graduate certificate in Ontario in fields of study where a one-year program also exists, this two-year program incorporates a Canadian context to students’ learning experience and work practice to ensure that graduates are prepared to be successful in the Canadian labour force.
