eCornell named Rep

eCornell, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cornell University, specialising in online professional development and executive education courses, has been named a Global Registered Education Provider (Rep) by the Project Management Institute, says FOXBusiness.

As a Rep, eCornell has been approved by PMI to issue Professional Development Units (PDUs) for 27 of eCornell's leadership, strategic management, financial management, and management development courses.

PMI has become the global advocate for the project management profession, with more than 240 000 members in over 160 countries.

People In Need (Pin), in collaboration with Jobsnet, recently completed a diploma programme in Project Management and Civil Technology focused on developing candidates' job skills in high needs areas within the Sri Lankan labour market, states Reuters.

Most of beneficiaries of this eight-month programme have successfully found employment in various NGOs and private companies.

The programme is one of Pin's education-related activities in Sri Lanka that has received funding through the "SOS Sri Lanka" public collection campaign in the Czech Republic.
