Managing Projects & Programs is intended to give a complementary learning experience to our usual courses. Conference participants enjoy the same type of engaging, interactive, and highly practical education that PDC offers in all of its courses and programs but in an intense daylong conference format.

Beyond the conference, attendees should consider their career objectives and how professional development could help them achieve their goals. An event like Managing Projects & Programs can be the starting point for professionals looking to increase their effectiveness and advance their careers.

Conference attendees who have never taken courses at PDC and have never had any formal training in project management should first look to our Project Management program. For more information, see our website at www.pdc.pdx.edu/projman or contact program manager Charles Ryan Brown at browncr@pdx.edu or 503-725-5865.

Conference attendees who have previously completed the PDC project management program or something similar elsewhere might consider other courses or another certificate program. PDC offers courses and certificates in a variety of different subject areas, including:

• Advanced Project Management
• Health Care Management
• Supervision and Performance Management
• Organizational Development
• Human Resources Management
• Multimedia and Web Development
