The Project Manager Development Program (PMDP), created by AGC of America, is designed to specifically meet the needs of the construction industry. The curriculum, along with the activities and shared experiences of course participants, provides the necessary skills and knowledge to increase the participant’s ability to work successfully with others to ensure project success. While the PMDP is traditionally offered in a virtual format by AGC of America, the AGC of Greater Milwaukee is excited to offer PMDP+ in a live classroom setting. PMDP+ brings a hands-on, interactive learning experience, allows participants to benefit from face-to-face discussion and peer networking, and includes a bonus session on Construction Leadership & Communication. Instruction will be led by Mark Rounds, a distinguished faculty member at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), who brings over 40 years of industry knowledge and practical insight into the classroom. Over the course of this five-unit program, participants will engage in instructor-led sessions designed to provide foundational project management knowledge, actionable tactics, and leadership strategies for project success.
