In a proactive move to meet industry demands and elevate professional standards, the Engineering Contracting Company (ECC) has launched a significant initiative aimed at securing international certifications for its staff. This initiative underscores ECC's commitment to professional development and aligns with the prevailing market requirements set by project management companies.
Mr. Nidal Hassoun, a key advocate for this initiative, recently communicated the importance of obtaining international certifications, specifically PMP (Project Management Professional) or PRINCE2, to selected staff members. He emphasized that these certifications are increasingly demanded by project management companies and are critical for professional growth and recognition in the industry.
In his email, Mr. Hassoun highlighted the necessity for prompt registration with Mr. Hisham Burhani for the PMP program. Mr. Burhani will facilitate all necessary arrangements with certification institutes, with ECC covering the associated costs in accordance with HR procedures. This step ensures that all logistical and financial aspects are managed efficiently, allowing staff members to focus on their certification journey.
The importance of obtaining a PMP certification is further underscored by its designation as a prerequisite for ECC construction managers aspiring to be promoted to the PM level. Mr. Hassoun emphasized that this certification is not just a company requirement but also a valuable asset at both personal and professional levels. It aligns individuals' capabilities with globally recognized standards, making it an investment in personal growth that simultaneously enhances ECC's ongoing processes.
ECC's initiative reflects its leadership in championing professional development. Staff members are encouraged to seize this opportunity for growth and align themselves with industry standards. This initiative not only benefits individuals in their career progression but also contributes to the overall enhancement of ECC's project management capabilities.
Stay tuned for updates on this dynamic initiative as ECC continues to invest in the professional development of its workforce, ensuring a robust and skilled team that meets the evolving needs of the engineering and construction landscape.
