Course Info
If you work in Talent Development, you are more than likely running projects all day every day. These projects may include creating or updating training programs, partnering with your IT department to implement a new technology platform or tool, such as a virtual learning platform or a learning management system (LMS), or overseeing an organization-wide learning initiative, such as a leadership development program. As talent development continues to grow and change to meet learner needs, having a systematic project management approach enables you to successfully oversee projects with increasing complexity and greater impact.
Regardless of the type of project, every learning project needs a strong project manager who is skilled in developing and managing timelines and budgets, setting priorities, minimizing risks, and gathering stakeholder input. The benefit of this certificate program is that it introduces you to core project management skills and shows you how to apply those skills specifically to a TD environment through examples and hands-on activities. As a result, you'll be able to manage learning projects more efficiently through systematic, repeatable, and adaptable processes tailored to our field. Whether you work within a talent development department or organization or as an independent consultant, becoming a skilled and capable project manager makes you a valuable asset to the team you support.

Testimonials
"I am now better equipped with a tried and true methodology to initiating my training planning and development projects."
"I would recommend this course because it's relevant and easy to follow. You can implement what you learn from the start of the course! My favorite takeaway from the program was understanding the importance of a scope diagram and project charter."
Read More"I can start using information and best practices from this course immediately. Even if I'm not able to get my team to fully embrace project planning for our learning projects, I can use what I learned. It also gives me a framework for how to approach this topic with my manager and other leaders to get them engaged from the beginning. I now have the tools I need to make a business case for projects which is a huge shift in how we've run learning programs in the past."
