MCC’s new Project Management Academy launches this fall

OMAHA, Neb. — Metropolitan Community College has announced the new Project Management Academy, an MCC Workforce Innovation Division initiative that will offer a diverse curriculum of project management principles beginning this fall. Students will learn best practices through group exercises, case studies and real-world simulation to prepare them for the Project Management Institute (PMI)®, Project Management Professional (PMP)® and Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® exams, globally-recognized industry certifications.

Students in the academy can complete courses at their own pace, giving working professionals flexibility in the manner in which they complete the program.

Upon successful completion, students will achieve the MCC Project Management Academy certificate.
