Closely aligned with the Project Management Institute's (PMI) Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) curriculum, the Sault College two-year graduate certificate program leverages the existing one-year program which introduces students to the systematic practice of managing individual and multiple projects through the application of current methods, tools, and technologies, and, in the second year of study, students in the two-year program engage in more expansive Project Management topics, including Agile, increasing the employability of graduates.
InSemester Four, students will apply the knowledge and skills they gained throughout the program, in awork placement. Students will participate in either a paid work placement (co-op), or an unpaid work placement (field placement). Both options have 280 hours of participation.
Meeting the requirements of a two-year graduate certificate in Ontario in fields of study where a one-year program also exists, this two-year program incorporates a Canadian context to students' learning experience and work practice to ensure that graduates are prepared to be successful in the Canadian labour force.
