As someone who has worked in the Project Controls discipline, you’ve probably noticed a lack of a standard career progression roadmap.
There are no clear guidelines and structures for project controls. From the job titles in Project Controls to the roles and responsibilities and skillsets, things vary from one organization to another.
The lack of a clear career path for project controls professionals is another challenge. Many don’t know their next career move, the skills they need to develop, and whether they are heading in the right direction.
Many are confused as to how they can transfer their skills from one industry to another.
Some are putting much emphasis on the software and tools rather than the essential skills they need to develop to perform their job effectively.
Proper knowledge and skill transfer, professional development and training, and shortage of skilled and trained professionals in Project Controls are other challenges to add to the list!
There is no wonder why many Project Controls professionals don’t know how to navigate their careers in the right direction properly.
That’s why we are dedicating this month’s masterclass to “Project Controls Career Progression,” so you have a clear roadmap to take your career to the next level and finish this year strong.
