Ah-ha moments that change an individual\u2019s perception of reality are game changers. They provide the vision needed to transform common lives to outstanding ones.<\/p>\n

Understanding what Daytona State College\u2019s Advanced Technical Certificate in Project Management can do for a career can be a life game-changer. It is estimated that salaries for professionals with PMP certifications earn at least 25 percent more than their counterparts;\u00a0 These professionals are in high demand and benefit from an abundance of local, statewide, national and international job opportunities.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the difference that professional project management certification makes, Grady Meeks, Associate Professor of DSC\u2019s School of Business said,\u00a0 \u201cNot only do these certifications allow you to work anywhere in the world, the average median salary for a certified project manager is $108,000 and these professionals also are secure even during economic downturns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why are project managers well paid and in global demand? In today\u2019s fast-paced business environment, continually changing realities demand effective solutions. As technology adds complexity to current problems, the need for professional project management skyrockets.<\/p>\n

Organizations today need to finish projects quicker. Waste and the formalities of implementing change are luxuries businesses no longer can afford.\u00a0 In this economy, organizations must get more done with less.\u00a0 Project Managers provide professional expertise that businesses and organizations need to decide between traditional and newer approaches to problem-solving.<\/p>\n

Matt McManus, CEO of Mathematics University, is currently enrolled in DSC\u2019s Advanced Certificate in Project Management online program. He is set to graduate this year. He said that he realized its value when one of his clients in Kenya required the PMP Certification as a prerequisite to bid on specific governmental contracts available in that country.<\/p>\n
