This document discusses the need for students to learn project management skills. It notes that graduates will take on more responsible roles requiring them to manage complex projects. However, many IT projects currently fail or run over budget due to a lack of project management expertise. There is a large shortage of project managers that is expected to grow further. Learning project management skills can help graduates be more successful and marketable for high-paying career opportunities in growing fields like IT, BPO, and KPO that increasingly rely on project management.
