APM’s Project Management Challenge: Empowering future Project Managers

The challenge aims to nurture the next generation of project management professionals by giving entrants the opportunity to experience a full project lifecycle from conception to delivery, with the support of an experienced mentor. It encourages corporate apprentices, graduates with fewer than three years’ experience, and higher education students to develop their project management skills by delivering a project using APM’s theoretical frameworks and project competencies to guide their approach.

Last year five teams made it to the Scotland finals night, where they presented their projects to a room of peers and judges. North Coast Net Zero from NRS Dounreay were crowned the winners on the night. This team combined environmental action with community engagement, supporting Thurso Community Development Trust in sustainable projects. Their event raised £889 and engaged over 290 people on topics of sustainability, waste reduction, and community development.

This year, the APM Project Management Challenge will be featured as a category at the APM Project Management Awards, taking place on 18 November at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London. Teams who won at regional level were shortlisted to participate with the winner to be announced on the night.
