This session is being offered in collaboration with the MITACS Step program. Mitacs Step offers a holistic, inter-disciplinary approach to professional skills development. The workshops that are offered provide practical tools in business, communications, and project management through experiential learning from industry professionals in an interactive environment, arming graduate students for success within or beyond academia.
This workshop is designed for post-doctoral fellows who want a broad overview of Project Management and some insights into the tasks and cycles involved in the management of a project. In this session you will learn some basic skills and strategies to take on complex projects. Designed especially for those who have no experience of Project Management.
Note: This is not intended as an in-depth seminar on Project Management. There will be longer, more focused seminars scheduled later in the fall for those who want to develop advanced skills in this field.
