“This one-year virtual program – offered through Mount Royal University in Calgary – was created as a result of high interest expressed by women who were keen on developing their project management skills to support their current careers and advance their knowledge. The program provides transferrable skills training that can be implemented in diverse areas such as new construction, environmental remediation, infrastructure projects, and more. Participants also have the valuable opportunity to work with a mentor to support their career development and networking circles.”
