Late last year, PMI launched a Smart Start student initiative that seeks to make faculty who teach project management courses at academic institutions aware of an outstanding opportunity for their students to get a “Smart Start” in project management. “Smart Start” refers to an opportunity for students to apply for the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® certification and become PMI student members in one easy step.
PMI is working to inform faculty that their students are eligible to sit for the CAPM certification if they are taking a project management course. PMI membership will not only supply their students with the digital copy of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), globally recognized standard and the book they will need to study for the CAPM certification, but will also award them unique networking and learning opportunities through the PMI chapters.
As a part of this initiative, PMI is providing faculty with downloadable implementation kits that will enable them to discuss the package with their students and help them enroll.
