IEEE Chicago Section's Young Professionals affinity group is excited to host a webinar by Jim Watson titled ”Project Management And Team Building Skills”.
Project Management And Team Building Skills
18 Feb. 2021 5:00 pm CT
Presented by Jim Watson, PE
IEEE Senior Life member
As young professionals, we can increase our level of early success by preparing to participate in planning projects. This can be accomplished by applying both technical and organization skills and using proven steps to develop outstanding project results. For larger projects, we need to apply additional non-technical skills as we participate effectively as part of a team. One of the best ways to advance our career is by demonstrating how we can work successfully with others. This webinar, based on the experience of a practising professional engineer, will provide an overview of both project management and team-building principles that are easy to use and that have proven to be the best way to plan and implement successful projects. It includes a brief self-evaluation exercise (have paper and pen handy) and additional details will be available in as a document to be downloaded following the presentation.
Registration is required and we will send an online link and password for registered participants. Only registered participants will receive the meeting link.
