Sukad to launch the first interactive program in project management

The launch of the program will be in partnership with ESC Lille University School of Management, which occupies a prominent position amongst other educational institutions around the world. Further, ESC Lille's PM postgraduate program is one of the first in the world that has been accredited by The Project Management Institute (PMI) and The UK Association for Project Management (APM).

In addition to the scientific quality of the material that will be addressed during the program, there will be a great emphasis on involving participants in interactive activities based on dialogues, discussions and project assignments. This distinct feature is to ensure that the participants understand and assimilate the contents of the program, as well as, applying the learning on real life projects immediately.

The program will significantly enable and help participants to transfer the concepts and theories to practical realities that will enhance project success.

Speaking about the importance of the strategic partnership between both parties, Mr. Mounir Ajam, CEO of Sukad, said "This partnership is an important step which comes in line with our endeavors to provide the best educational services related to project management to our clients, be they individuals or organizations. We, at Sukad, are very careful when choosing our educational material, which should come in accordance with latest global standards and thinking".

He added:

"We were able, during our presence in the region to provide an excellent model in practical project management education, and that is due to our global experience and ability to transform concepts into practical applications. We are always keen on providing a different paradigm about the art of project management, a paradigm that is based on a strong scientific ground and a process based on an interactive system, rather than depending just on academic theories"

Sukad's CEO pointed out that the participants will be incorporated in the program within small groups under the supervision of Sukad's experts in order to provide the participants with a clear picture about the science and psychology of project management and to empower them to apply what they have learnt during the program. Mr. Ajam said: "We see this is a must because often professionals leave training sessions and do not practice what they learn."

Mr. Ajam commented on the partnership stressing on the fact that it will enable Sukad to provide an excellent opportunity for its clients to gain a globally recognized credential. Not to mention the high quality materials that will lead learners to achieve a significant leap in their careers. In addition, providing participants with best materials needed to which are required to apply the concepts on the ground upon completion of the program.

It is worth mentioning here, that the program will be launched in three different countries, in Dubai, UAE, two groups' morning and evening sessions where the evening session will start in October 2009 and the morning one will start in November 2009. In addition, Sukad will launch its program as well in Lebanon on December 2009 and in Bahrain on 2010.
