The global economy has become more project-oriented to deal with the need to manage time and resources effectively and efficiently. According to the Project Management Job Growth and Talent Gap Report of the Project Management Institute, by 2027, employers will need 87.7 million individuals working in project management roles.

The demand for project management (PM) skills in Africa and South Africa has also increased significantly across a wide variety of industries. Africa’s market of middle-class consumers is expected to soar to 1.1 billion by 2060, leading to increasing services and development projects.  Due to this, the need for project management has increased in service industries, such as information technology, financial services, and telecommunication.

The demand for project management skills in South Africa has also increased considerably across almost every sector. The skills gap must be filled by confident, human-centred project managers who can balance a range of considerations to achieve project goals.
