Mn/DOT Master Level Project Manager Development Pilot Program
Principal Investigator:
Jim Grothaus, Director, Tech. Transfer & Training, Center for Transportation Studies
Project Summary:
For more than 15 years, the Mn/DOT Office of Technical Support has offered excellent project management training programs. An initial Advanced Skills for Project Managers Class Series was launched in 2004 with favorable results. This proposed Master Level Project Manager Training Program is an attempt to build on the success of the former advanced level program and offer more in-depth training that will address the current and future needs of experienced level Mn/DOT project managers. Whereas the former Advanced Skills for Project Managers class was three (3) days in length, this expanded master level series will be eleven (11) total days. The current direction of Mn/DOT, as an engineering organization, is that of becoming a 'Program Management Organization' which requires an increased emphasis on and investment in developing project managers. This master level program is a viable means to meet this evolving organizational need.
