Organizations in every industry need professionals with the expertise to manage projects and facilitate business success.

Project managers oversee each step of a project from initiation to close, using a systematized approach and diverse skill set to ensure work is completed on time, within budget, and to stakeholder satisfaction.

Experienced project managers are leaders who can analyze, communicate, organize, delegate, problem-solve, and motivate team members. They are key members of any organization and are well compensated for their valuable skills and actionable knowledge.

Project Management Careers and Certification

According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, 10-year job growth projections for project management specialists are double that of the national average. In addition, the BLS reports that the median salary for a project management specialist is more than twice the U.S. median rate. 

Certification can lead to even higher earning potential. The Project Management Institute reports that the median salary for those in the U.S. who have Project Management Professional (PMP) certification is 32% higher than those without certification.

While project management certification is not required to hold a project position, it’s often considered an essential benchmark for those looking to enter or advance in the field. According to US News and World Report, certification is "vital" for project managers working in industries such as "healthcare, financial services, construction, manufacturing and information services."
