ADVANCE YOUR CAREER
Project management tackles the teamwork and leadership issues that are part of moving projects and organizations forward successfully. Large projects are a part of almost any organization’s work. Successful project managers are well paid and highly sought after in the construction industry, engineering, architecture, information technology, telecommunication, and many other fields in the production, design and service industries. According to a survey conducted by Computer Economics, a consulting firm, the number of project managers on information technology teams has increased from 2.0% of total staff in 2006 to 4.5% in 2009.

- Click on the arrow icons located below and to the right of the brochure—when you move your cursor on the arrows, an explanation box will pop up, telling you these icons mean “next page” or “previous page.”
To zoom in on a page, you have two options:
- Click on the page you’re interested in.
- Click on the zoom-in icon located below and to the left of the brochure—the icon looks like a magnifying glass with a plus sign in the lens.
To zoom out, there are two more options:
- Click on the page you’ve zoomed in on.

A full-screen option is also available—to read the text at its largest size, just click on the icon next to the magnifying glass icon at the lower left of the brochure. When you’re in full-screen mode, please note that Internet hyperlinks in the brochure won’t be live. Normal mode is required for you to use hyperlinks in the brochure text.
When your cursor arrow transforms into a little hand shape, that means your cursor is on an Internet hyperlink, so if you click, you’ll be taken to another webpage.
