Career

Can a electrical engineering graduate with MBA project Management apply for position of project manager in IT? What are the skills I may require?

Ans: Of course you can, especially considering you have an MBA in project Management.

If you don't have them already, you may consider obtaining project management certifications such as PMP (Project Management Professional) or PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments) to enhance your credibility as a project manager.

Your MBA in project management will provide you with a strong foundation in project management principles, methodologies, and best practices. Familiarity with project management frameworks such as Agile, Scrum, or Kanban would be particularly useful in the IT industry.

Hope that this helps

Career

Hello Mayank, I am 39 years old & having 16 years experience after BE in mechanical Engineering. I am working in an US based MNC for last 8 years as Senior Application Engineer. I have worked in different projects and currently now I am an individual contributor not leading a team. The growth opportunities seems to be low at this point. I am looking job as Project manger or other managerial assignments in MNC's who are into production. Recently I have passed PMP certification and looking for similar courses or certifications which can help me in future. Please guide with suitable skills or courses and ways in which I can find jobs as managerial or leadership roles in MNC's.

Ans: Hi Shrikanth, you can consider enhancing your PMP certification with additional qualifications like Six Sigma for process improvement and Agile for project management. You can also explore leadership courses focusing on strategic management and effective communication to improve your skill set. It would be ideal to leverage your extensive experience, update your professional profiles, and actively engage and network through LinkedIn. Monitoring various job portals and the career pages of MNCs for potential managerial opportunities will help you explore the market and find the right fit for yourself.
