It is a known fact today that in a time where companies in every industry are downsizing, project management actually faces a critical shortage of talent.

"The demand for project managers is definitely growing," says Sheree Rulard, senior recruiting consultant for Beeline RPO, a workforce solutions firm with offices in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada.

Two factors are to thank: a shift in demographics and a growth in global projects worldwide.
A 2008 survey by the Anderson Economic Group shows that, economic woes aside, the number of global projects is expected to keep growing significantly. Global GDP in projectized industries is expected to increase by US$4.5 trillion by 2016.

Between 2006 and 2016, the number of project-oriented employees will grow by an estimated 8.2 million.

Who fills those positions is another matter.

According to a 2008 survey by KPMG International, several industries have current talent shortage that project managers are in high demand; three-quarters of the survey respondents, CEOs and senior executives, reported that they were most worried about project managers.

Discussion: Despite this critical shortage of project managers, experienced project managers with degrees from a university in a developing countries may have problems filling these positions because of non-recognition of such degrees. A way out of this challenge may be to cap your degrees with a world recognized professional certificate such as PMP.
