OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES
Ways to advance your career
Professional development and good practice are at the very centre of the Association’s objectives. Each year, the professional development element of our programme is geared to respond to the needs of people working at different stages in their careers.
In addition to the wide range of seminars, the Major Projects Association offers its membership a number of professional development opportunities:
Challenge of Major Projects
The Challenge of Major Projects is an annual course which always attracts a varied and high powered group who benefit from the course material presented by a team of experts.
Major Projects Simulator
The Major Projects Simulator has been designed to help members in the training of their project managers and brings to life many of the universal challenges of major projects.
Rising Stars
Rising Stars is a 2 part professional development course aimed at talented people in member organisations who are on track for responsible positions in management. The programme focuses on analysing key issues and exploring different ways of thinking.
Mentoring
Our mentoring scheme is designed to support key decision makers (for example: project sponsors, senior responsible officers, project or programme directors) in member bodies, facing challenges in particularly large, complex or innovative projects.
