Practical Project Management is a comprehensive professional development course that uses a concrete and targeted approach to building skills useful for managing projects in the real world.

Communication plans, time management, negotiations, conflict, engaging stakeholders and team building will be included in discussion. Project management concerns that are timely or interesting will also be discussed.

Angela Wheaton, M.A., will facilitate the classes. Wheaton holds a Master of Arts degree in theology and counseling, is certified by the Project Management Institute, holds a Scrum Master certification, and is a certified Facilitative Leader and Trainer. She has leadership experience in the retail, banking, education, technology, social service and health care fields.

The course fee is $595 per person. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available to those who live or work in Knox or Waldo Counties. Early registration is recommended as spots are limited.
