In an era where strategic initiatives and innovation drive success, the demand for skilled project managers is escalating. By 2027, the Project Management Institute (PMI) predicts a need for 87.7 million individuals in project-management roles—a sector where transitioning military, veterans, and their spouses can significantly contribute.
The distinct project management competencies honed through military service — leading diverse teams, managing budgets, scheduling, and conflict resolution — align seamlessly with the professional demands of a civilian project manager role.
