About PM4Youth
Knowledge Method is actively coaching students in Singapore on the concept, knowledge, and practical application of Project Management. Through the involvement of project management practitioners as mentors, the students will be guided to exercise critical thinking, and to practice project management principles in their school and social projects.
Our mission is to equip youth with this essential life skill, to prepare them for career readiness, and to be an ethical and successful person in life.
In the event on 2-Dec-2013, we have invited PMI Singapore Chapter Board Member, JA Singapore Director, Founder of International Project Management Day to share their thoughts and insights. We want to bring awareness that Project Management practices in our professional work can be thought to youth at all levels. And hope to recruit like-minded volunteers to join us, to contribute and involve in various work in PM4Youth, in JA Project Management, and also share experiences through the International Project Management Day.
