FNU, Procept Associates launch Project Management Certificate Program

The First Nations University of Canada and Procept Associates Ltd have partnered to launch a Project Management Certificate Program. The program, which is offered through the Indigenous Continuing Education Centre, will teach students about project management and planning risk management. It will also cover topics of interest to Indigenous communities, including the establishment of sound project governance structures and policies, and project procurement best practices. “For Indigenous communities, change can be realized through meaningful and relevant projects,” said FNU President Dr Jacqueline Ottmann. “Most First Nations need greater internal capacity to govern and implement projects with people from the community. This approach keeps revenue within the community and empowers First Nations to make project planning and delivery decisions that are aligned with community priorities and goals.” Nation Talk Note: Archived stories may contain dead links or be missing source links.
