Funding Agency : Co-funded by the European Union
The project aims to enhance the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into the project management domain, address skills mismatches and shortages, and foster innovative competence-oriented learning ecosystems to empower future project management professionals.
The ESG4PMChange project is a unique opportunity for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers, Project Management (PM) professional associations, and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to collaborate and co-create innovative solutions to address sustainability challenges in project management, boost innovation through cooperation and knowledge sharing, and create a large-scale multiplier effect for powerful change with the potential to be transferred across Europe and worldwide.
The overall objective of the ESG4PMChange project is to bridge the gap between ESG demands and the current state of project management education and training.
The project's objectives are designed to explore dynamic job market needs and disruptive trends, develop and implement a comprehensive ESG PM framework, design and pilot a problem-oriented curriculum, self-paced training programs, a professional mentorship scheme, and establish enabler-driven Living Labs as a platform for innovation and collaboration.
The learning ecosystem, comprising formal (problem-oriented curriculum model), non-formal (self-paced training program), and informal learning (professional mentoring program and Living Labs), reflects the needs of the job market and ensures that learners are equipped with the skills and knowledge required to contribute to sustainable and resilient businesses and have a positive impact on society.
The complementarity of the combined elements of the program provides a holistic approach to learning that reflects the needs of the job market and ensures that learners are prepared for the evolving demands of the project management profession.
