Project support unit to conduct training in project management
Posted by Arjun ThomasAs reported at SKNVibes.
Roadtown, Tortola - The Ministry of Finance’s Project Support Service Unit (PSSU) will conduct a series of training workshops on the Basics of Project Planning and Management beginning on July 22.
The training, to be held at the PSSU conference room located on the third floor of RFG Building at Road Town round-about at 10 a.m., will introduce participants to the basic need-to-know concepts of managing projects. Participants will be exposed to standard forms and tools developed for use throughout the public service. The topics to be covered during the training will include an introduction to the PSSU; What is Project Management? and Project Planning and Management.
During the training session participants will also be introduced to the revised British Virgin Islands Government Project Management Guidelines and will be shown how to utilise the document to achieve optimum results when managing projects.
According to the unit the principal purpose of the guidelines is to support the efforts of ministries or departments to more effectively plan, implement and monitor capital investment projects in a manner consistent with stated objectives, and within the limits of financial and other resource constraints.
Manager of PSSU Ms. Shaina Smith told the Department of Information and Public Relations in a GIS Radio Report interview that project management allows the Ministry of Finance and the Government on a whole to “achieve value for money”.
“By planning projects out we are able to properly assign a cost, as well as a schedule, so that we will know how much time it would take and how much money it will cost and this can help us make informed decisions,” she said.
Ms. Smith added, “In keeping with Government’s desire to achieve a more targeted and results-oriented expenditure programme, the guidelines seek to achieve value for money by more consistently realising project objectives with optimal results.”

TAMPA, Fla., June 18 /PRNewswire/ — As organizations continue to downsize in the face of a continuing recession, employees are discovering that seniority and solid performance no longer guarantee job security. To survive and thrive in today’s economy, they must demonstrate mastery of core business strategies and possess technical expertise in a functional area deemed essential to operations. Florida Tech University Online (Florida Institute of Technology) helps professionals gain the edge they need with two new 100% online MBA programs in Project Management and Information Technology Management.
“When faced with important workforce decisions — from layoffs to promotions — companies will make a special effort to retain employees who add the greatest value to the organization,” said Adrian Marrullier, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of University Alliance Online, which provides enrollment and support services to Florida Tech University Online. “Professionals can position themselves as an indispensable asset to any employer by developing broad-based business knowledge and targeted skills that translate directly into profits. And there’s simply no better way for them to accomplish that than by earning an online MBA degree from Florida Tech.”
With many qualified MBA holders competing for management-level positions, Marrullier noted that Florida Tech grads can distinguish themselves by specializing in a high-demand field such as project management or information technology management. “Students will gain proficiency in business tools and techniques that can dramatically impact a company’s efficiency, productivity and profitability. And thanks to the flexibility and convenience of online learning, they can earn their degree in two years or less while maintaining a full-time job — so the return on investment is almost immediate.”
