His new skillset and investment in Project Management Training will now benefit both him as an individual, and his place of work, as Skills4Stem’s CEO, Sarah Davis, explains:
“In completing his training, Christian has learned, for example, the use of consistent terminology, how to implement a system of reliable documentation across projects, and he will have a greater understanding of the responsibilities associated with roles such as leadership, governance and planning, as well as the structure for his on-going development.”
