Congratulations to 2021’s Newest IPM Graduates

December 20, 2021

MCAA is thrilled to congratulate the newest graduates of the Institute for Project Management! In September, MCAA member companies from across the country sent us their best and brightest – many of whom had waited for 18 months while we negotiated travel bans and safety concerns before resuming programming. Last week, they completed the second week of their 85-hour course and became the first IPM grads since January of 2020.

These PMs brought both energy and enthusiasm to the classroom and beyond as they engaged with their instructors and each other to create a learning community and a network that we are confident that will far outlast their time in the program. As participants left Austin with certificates of completion and a bunch of new friends, it was hard to say who was happier – the students, or our team of dedicated volunteer contractor-instructors, who are working double-time this fall to catch up with the pandemic-driven backlog.

Now in its 34th year, the Institute for Project Management is intended to take top-notch PMs with 3+ years of experience and make them even better at what they do. For more information about the program click the link below.
