EXCELLENCE IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT TRAINING
In support of our aspiration for TRC to become the best Project Management
firm in our space, we launched an Excellence in Project Management (EPM)
training series in 2011. The two-part training is designed to support the
continuing improvement of our existing staff of talented Project Managers
as well as provide an opportunity to nurture and develop our aspiring Project
Managers. Since inception, 481 of our Project Managers have attended Part
One of the in-person training, and 129 have attended Part Two, which covers
more advanced topics appropriate for more complex projects.
In FY14, 78 Project Managers attended one of the many training sessions. In
FY14, we also added information on our sustainability initiative to the training,
to expand awareness of emerging trends with those most closely connected to
our clients.
One of the benefits of the EPM training most often cited by attendees, is the
opportunity to meet and network with colleagues across the organization.
Due to the success of the program, we are planning on another 245 Project
Managers attending either Part One or Part Two of the training program
in FY15.
