Project Management certification is a requirement for many careers in the business world, from the tech field to health care. When you read a job posting for a Project Manager, you’ll often find the position requires certification, either as a CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) or the gold standard, Project Management Professional (PMP). While the CAPM designation requires less experience, some of the best-paying management positions require the more challenging PMP certificate.
Although some Project Manager positions are industry-specific such as a Construction Project Manager or Software Project Manager, others are straightforward Project Manager or Product Manager titles. Most importantly, these positions all require specialized training, not simply experience in managing a project or two.
Project management as a field involves training in various management methodologies as part of the certification or even pre-certification process. For example, some Project Management positions require a college degree and three or more years of Project Management experience. In addition, a certification program like the PMP is available only to degreed professionals with at least three years of direct Project Management experience, or a comparable combination of professional experience and education.
With the high incomes generally afforded to positions like Software Engineer and Project Manager, Austin is an excellent place to seek a Project Management career. Salaries for project management careers in Austin are between $60,000 and $75,000, well above the local average.
