PMIEF
Project Management Program for Tomorrow’s Leaders
About
Starting in 2022, The Project Management Institute Educational Foundation (PMIEF) partnered with JA Asia Pacific and its Members to “enable youth to realize their potential and transform lives through project management” and to "inspire youth to achieve their goals, making dreams a reality”. PMIEF’s mission aligns closely with JA’s, as we strive to provide young people in the world’s most populous region to instill future-forward educational opportunities and skilling programs.
Learning Experience
The program targets youth in the region with project management skills and content, largely embedded within broader project-based programs and events. The goal is for young people to learn project management basics, understand its broad application to any number of careers they may wish to pursue, and to develop the competencies need to manage projects in their own lives.
With JA’s reach, resources and netoworknetwork, students have the chance to engage in the Project Management training through many models. As one example, we created a special engagement opportunity for a Project Management Webinar through JA Asia Pacific’s flagship event called Company of the Year Competition (COYC). Students also have the chance to join Project Management workshops at our participating JA locations.
Participating Locations
With PMIEF’s incredible support, in 2022, JA Asia Pacific and our Members were able to support learning experiences for 70,185 students reached by three JA locations: India, Indonesia and the Philippines.
In 2023, we are working towards a total of eight market locations joining the program from Asia Pacific, namely: India, Indonesia, the Philippines, China, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia, with hopefully more to come in 2024 and beyond!
