50% of people leaving military service say that they are interested in working in project management, but what does that actually mean? And how do you get there?

Becoming the Hunter – Careers in Project Management

The Everyday Project Manager, in partnership with Forces Transition Group, has created a one-day training course, available at barracks across the UK, specifically aimed at serving military personnel and those transitioning to civilian life.

 

We cover project management basics, governance and reporting to give you a flavour of what you can expect in a corporate PM role.

Then we take a look ahead to the different PM roles available, what you’ll need to consider in your applications and which qualifications, if any, you might consider next.

On the day

Each day typically runs from 09.30 to 16.30 and will incorporate a one-hour lunch break and a twenty-minute break between each of the morning and afternoon sessions. Refreshments are not included but may be provided by the client if desired.

How do I book?

These courses work best in groups of 8-12 people, and we need a minimum of 8 people to run a course. Register your interest by emailing hello@everydaypm.co.uk with the name of your barracks and we’ll be in touch.
