Tips 4 Students

       
 
There are four types of potential members who are in our target audience:
  1. University/College Students - Traditional/Non-Traditional*
  2. PM Faculty Mentors**
  3. New to the PM Profession***
  4. Seasoned PM Professionals****

HOWEVER, this listing isn't an attempt to "preclude" anybody since our catch phrase is, "Aren't We All Students of Project Management?" which pretty much means everybody!.  In other words, aren't we always learning new processes and concepts to add to our Project Manager toolkit?  Our "Best Practices" that we can use and reuse to benefit our project stakeholders?

That's what this SIG is all about, the networking through our List Server AND our Members Only area bring people together from around the world to discuss PM "Best Practices"!

*  "Traditional" means those who are in school full time and that is their major "work" assignment.  Whereas "Non-Traditional" means those who are holding down a full-time job, may have a family to support AND are pursuing a degree in higher education.  These are usually but not always Graduate Students.

** Having PM faculty work with us to create a relationship between their PM students and the SIG is a "Win Win" collaboration for both groups.  Of course the SIG benefits from the additional membership numbers whereas the students make "First Contact" in the profession.  The PM Faculty member receives service credit at the institution where they work.  Also, having contact with a PM faculty member adds consistency where volatile student turnover impacts on membership communications and numbers

*** This could mean a person who all of sudden is handed the job of Project Manager at their workplace.  Or those who have entered the work force looking specifically for PM work.

**** These are people who have an interest in passing on their expertise in the field to those who are new to the profession.  They're taking an interest in mentoring the next generation of Project Managers.
