Why Project Management program: –
Project management program is really very beneficial for the aspirants who have good academic background and along with academic they also want to have practical exposure they feel less efficient in dealing with non-technical aspects, people skills, processes and procedures involved in carrying out projects. For Example: Here I would like to share a case study of Himanshu who said: I have an understanding that for upward growth in my career, I need a certification related to taking the lead in projects, I need to lace myself with a project management specialized degree. Therefore I started exploring relevant options; I got to know about various program options, but I was more concerned for recognition and acceptance of my qualification. I found that Canadian Institutes offers various professional and career oriented programs to International students which further raise the probability of getting advanced career options. Canadian education system has their admission conditions quite flexible as per other countries and offers ample study opportunities which makes that as one of the best place in the world. Hence, I considered Canada as a first choice for my further studies. To fulfil the requirement, I appeared for IELTS on 23, July 2022 and scored overall 7.5 bands on the first attempt, while delivering regular professional duties, which are as follows: –
- Listening 8.0, Reading 8.0, Writing 6.5, and Speaking 8.0: Overall 7.5
Future Goals
In India, with project management skills, students will have a plethora of opportunities available in various job titles such as Project Service Engineer, Communication Engineer, Project Technical Director, and Network Planning Project Engineer. The well-crafted courses of this program, like Introduction to Project Management, Creativity and Innovation, Organizational Behaviour and Management, Project Teams and Leadership, Organization Theory and Design, Human Resource Management and Development and Advanced Project Management would prepare me for these roles. According to a recent joint survey conducted by ASSOCHAM and NEC Corp, apart from the technological industry, the manufacturing sector, Multinational Corporations, research-based companies, armed forces, and many other domains are employing technical skilled project engineers. Electronics companies such as Siemens pays INR 17.5 Lakh annual average salary to 7-10 years’ experience holder, Philips pays INR 19.6 Lakh annual average salary to 7-12 years experienced, LG Soft India pays INR 24.6 Lakh to 12 to 13 years’ experience holder, AECOM pays INR 12.55 lakh to Project Engineer with more than 5 years’ experience including other allowances, (government sector) Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology pays above INR 10lakh to Project Engineers with 9+ years’ experience holder, and EMCO pays INR 18.5 lakh to Senior Project Engineer with 6 years of experience, Hitachi pays INR 11.50 lakh to 7+years’ experience for handling projects of small scale. According to Pay Scale, 14th June 2021, project management has the greatest positive impact on an electronics engineer’s salary; earning 6% more than the overall average. Candidates with international education exposure in project management will be able to grab the best opportunities in the Engineering industry in India.
The tenacious concern here is the skill gap in technical and management domains that the industries are facing. According to a report published by Project Management Institute (PMI), India will have the second-largest number of project management-related jobs in India after China by 2027. My competency and knowledge in the technical field, coupled with international exposure to project management, will be advantageous to my career in India.
