Take your management skills to the next level with a Post-Degree Diploma in Project Management. In this one-year program, you’ll learn the project management theories, tools and techniques you need to meet project goals on time and on budget, while maintaining high standards. Once you graduate, you’ll be prepared to take on roles such as construction manager, engineering manager, property administrator, IT project manager and more.
Graduate job-ready with the Career Boost program
Designed for post-degree students, the Career Boost program prepares you for part-time paid or volunteer positions that complement your studies. You’ll participate in career-building workshops, one-on-one coaching sessions, career fairs, networking with employers, peer-led leadership meetings and more. Once you graduate, you’ll get the continued support, skills and knowledge you need to find a full-time job in your field.
Get valuable work experience through the Business Internship program
In the Business Internship Program, you’ll apply the theory and knowledge you’ve learned in class into a real-world business setting. During your unpaid part-time internship, you’ll be assigned tasks and projects that junior management, marketing, business, administrative and/or sales employees complete in the modern workplace.
To be accepted into the internship program, you must contact the Career Centre early in your studies at Douglas College.
Excellent job prospects
According to the Project Management Institute, over 2.3 million project management jobs will be created each year to meet worldwide demand until 2030. The demand for skilled project managers is high, with the Project Management Institute showing that "across the globe, there’s a widening gap between employers’ need for skilled project management workers and the availability of professionals to fill those roles."
Get certified
Graduates will have the knowledge and skills to sit the following Project Management Institute certification exams: Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), Project Management Professional (PMP) and Project Management–Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP). These certifications are recognized around the world. On average, project managers with a PMP certification earn 20 percent more money than those without. *
