DONOR SPOTLIGHT: FRED ARNOLD, PMP PMIEF 2016 GRANTS: THE FUTURE OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT! PMIEF AWARDS PROMOTE PROJECT MANAGEMENT He believes that PMIEF knowledge will change the world for social good. Find out more... Thanks to donors and friends like you, PMIEF awarded a group of grants in 2016, and exciting results are already here. Application deadlines are coming up fast... Don't miss the 2017 awards season!
2 PREPARING TODAY'S YOUTH FOR THE GLOBALIZED ECONOMY THROUGH PROJECT MANAGEMENT PMIEF has long recognized career and technical education (CTE) as a viable entry point into secondary school education through which we can accomplish our goal to help ensure PM Knowledgeable Youth. That s because CTE courses offer project-based, experiential learning opportunities that can prepare young people for 21 st century success. One of the primary keys to business success for this generation, and the next, will be understanding how to operate in an ever-widening global economy. Consider this: Nearly 40 million U.S. jobs are linked to international trade. 1 75% of the world s purchasing power and 95% of the world s consumers are outside of the United States. 2 Many U.S. executives believe both entry-level and management-level jobs require international skills. 3 Clearly, our global economy demands a globally competent workforce. Every business professional must successfully interact with colleagues, customers and clients from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Other crucial skills include how to work collaboratively in teams, to communicate effectively and to think critically as he or she executes complex projects. PMIEF's commitment to develop PM Knowledgeable Youth through CTE coupled with our goal to help young people successfully navigate and lead in a global economy, is why we awarded a two-year, US$350,000 grant to the Asia Society in Together, we created the PMIEF Asia Society Initiative for Integrating Global Competence into CTE. This initiative weds CTE, global competence and project management by delivering project management-rich professional development to CTE teachers. Heather Singmaster, Associate Director of the Asia Society's Center for Global Education, leads this initiative. As she explained, We believe students must become proficient in 21st-century competencies like project management, but through a global lens. Many educators want to include global content in their classrooms, but the resources just weren t there. We chose to partner with PMIEF to create professional development modules for CTE teachers, preparing them to integrate project management into their instruction while paying careful attention to the importance of global perspectives. The Asia Society utilized its PMIEF grant to create and pilot a customizable, 10-hour, online course and toolkit for middle and secondary school CTE educators. This resource combines CTE learning opportunities and curriculum, global competence and project management all delivered through professional development. Heather is especially excited that the course...gives educators everything they need to integrate project management into real-life scenarios for their students. For instance, they can challenge health science students to manage the Zika crisis in South America. Computer programming students are asked to solve a global cybersecurity breach. It s all about connecting the local to the global, leveraging project management to skillfully address the issues we face in today s world. Forty U.S. educators participated in the pilot, building their capacity to integrate global competence and project management into their CTE instruction. The program also introduced these teachers to the global career opportunities that exist in CTE pathways. That way they can better help their students to identify and pursue the myriad career opportunities available for skilled, globally competent project managers.
3 The Asia Society will make the final modules available at no cost to all CTE educators in fall 2017, following post-pilot revisions. Heather continued, Every teacher who participated in the pilot expressed great appreciation for the robust content of the modules and the benefits this initiative can bring to their students. They re also more readily applying project management principles in their classroom to enhance their instruction and curricular design. PMIEF donors and friends like you helped fund this meaningful initiative, which will ultimately strengthen teaching and learning worldwide. Heather asked to share a word with PMIEF donors: This grant is extremely important, because CTE must prepare young people to be globally competent, especially using project management skills. Previously, there were no tools to help educators achieve these outcomes, but every career includes a global component just as every career demands project management know-how. We never could have developed and made these CTE modules available without PMIEF donors and the generous grant we received. Thank you! You have made it possible for CTE teachers to deepen their understanding of project management and its relevance to their instruction. They will be able to prepare students for academic, professional, and personal success. Thank you for your continued generosity we depend on your support! 1, 2 Invested in America: A Growth Agenda for the U.S. Economy, January 2014, Business RoundTable, businessroundtable.org, accessed April 11, According to the 2014 U.S. Business Needs for Employees with International Expertise, a survey of more than 800 U.S. executives.
4 DONOR SPOTLIGHT: FRED ARNOLD, PMP Fred Arnold started his project management career in the energy field, assisting a client in building nuclear power plants. He was responsible for performing QA audits and providing Owners' Oversight of multibillion dollar capital investments, involving thousands of contractors and employees, and including quality control, construction management, engineering, maintenance, testing, health physics and operations and maintenance support from start to finish. During this time, the president of his company directed Fred to investigate the Project Management Institute in 1977 to see how the firm and its clients could better integrate project management practices into the project work. Fred shared, I learned how to develop plans and work the plan effectively principles I use to this day. As a 40-year veteran of the project management profession and a longtime PMIEF supporter Fred knows the value of what PMIEF provides: I believe the benefits of PMIEF knowledge and assets are best used when they are multiplied through other nonprofit organizations and in an educational setting. These assets are precious, and we need to maximize their application. A few years ago, Fred...conceived, planned, organized and managed a pro bono project management training program for PMIEF through the Pittsburgh Chapter of PMI. We provided PMIEF training and resources to Pittsburgh regional minority contractors, helping them to become better project managers across a wide range of projects. He continues to serve nonprofits using knowledge gained through PMI and PMIEF. In fact, Fred just began assisting his alma mater, Geneva College, working to help them grow their knowledge of project management in a variety of areas from the administration's student career development to their project management curriculum. Fred strongly believes that everyone who has benefited from PMI resources and assets should give back, saying, Think about what they care about most. What s important in life or business? If you're involved in charities, religious organizations, social services, an alumni association or whatever, you're involved for a reason. And by giving to PMIEF, you can make a significant difference. Everything we want to accomplish involves projects. And PMIEF teaches how to best formulate, plan, execute, control and closeout projects. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve the project's objectives, optimize schedules and minimize costs. And that has tremendous value. That's why he declared, My gifts to PMIEF have been based on a simple factor: It's the right thing to do. PMIEF donors and partners like you are incredibly important. Your support ensures that we can give nonprofit leaders the knowledge they need to accomplish their mission as effectively as possible. Also, your help imparts project management principles to students, gives them the tools they need to succeed in school, career, and in life and extends the project management profession to the next generation.
