Who are the candidates that appear to value and / or have invested in PRINCE2 in their quest for gainful project management employment? In this piece we are looking for the story behind the numbers to maybe uncover some hidden pointers about what is driving behaviours in the profession. In 2010, PRINCE2 is still seen by many as the crucial keyword in the project management recruitment marketplace, but in order for it to remain relevant and meaningful we must be sure that project managers can utilise it for long-term benefits, rather than use it as a buzz word that gives them short-term gains.
In our desire to get a look at who these people are, we decided to take a sample of candidates from our database and derive what they bring to the table in the larger picture of projects and programmes. The sample took a look at 100 candidates who had recently registered with Arras People and used the term “PRINCE2″ in any way on their CV. We then tabulated facts and figures about their use of the term, levels of expertise in project management, PRINCE2 levels obtained and any other qualifications (including university or professional training) that might prove relevant in one’s professional development.
The picture that emerged can be seen by clicking here to go to the full-length version of this article in the September 2010 edition of Tipoffs.
