Public sector staff learn to project manage

Posted in News on the February 22nd, 2007

Public sector organisations are increasingly sending their staff on project management training courses, according to a new report.

Onrec.com reports that the Training Camp, a company which specialises in accelerated learning, has announced that the demand from public sector organisations for project management training is starting to overtake demand from the business world.

According to the website, public sector employers, such as the NHS and local authorities, are now responsible for 18 per cent of all courses booked at the Training Camp.

Increasingly, public sector organisations want to increase efficiency and improve project management skills. This has resulted in more people being sent on courses at the training academy.

“The increase in demand for project management we’ve seen from the public sector is extremely encouraging,” Robert Chapman, chief executive of the Training Camp told onrec.

“Organisations are realising that process change needs to happen now to make services for the public more efficient,” he added.
