Addressing the skill gap in India’s rapidly growing EPC & IT Sectors

Skilled manpower is key to successfully completing projects within the agreed upon time and cost. Unfortunately skilled manpower is in shortage and that has started impacting growth.

Project Management Research Institute (PMRI) is playing a key role in addressing the skills gap in India’s rapidly growing construction industry, particularly in project management. The gap between industry requirements and available talent is indeed a significant challenge, especially as the sector is set to experience significant growth from 2025 onward.

PMRI’s approach of offering customized training programs for both students and experienced professionals is crucial in equipping them with the skills needed to meet industry demands. By focusing on both early-career development and advanced credentialing (like the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification), PMRI is helping to create a more competent and efficient workforce.

Moreover, PMRI’s research into innovating engineering pedagogy shows a forward-thinking approach to ensuring that education systems evolve to better prepare students for the industry. Bridging the gap in this way is not only beneficial for the students and professionals directly involved but also has the potential to raise overall standards within the construction industry in India.

Given PMRI’s history of training over 30,000 professionals since 2005, it appears that the institute has built a strong reputation and expertise in the field. Looking ahead, continuing to innovate and expand these initiatives will be key to keeping pace with the growing demands of the construction sector.

At the crux of all these is the PMdistilled Guide covering Predictive, Agile & Hybrid Project Management based on the Globally accepted project management best practices.
