1. Infrastructure and Construction: In the United States, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) is a significant driver of job growth for PMPs. The Act’s focus on revitalizing infrastructure, including airports, railways, roads, and bridges, is expected to create a substantial demand for project management professionals with expertise in sustainability, risk management, and public-private partnerships.

Technology and Digital Transformation: Across North America, and globally, there is an increasing demand for PMPs in the technology sector, particularly as organizations undergo digital transformation. Companies are seeking PMPs with skills in managing digital projects, including the integration of AI, cloud computing, and other advanced technologies. This trend is especially strong in tech hubs and regions prioritizing digital innovation.
3. Energy and Sustainability: The report highlights significant job growth prospects in the energy sector, particularly in renewable energy projects. With a global shift towards sustainability and green energy, there is a growing need for PMPs who can manage complex energy projects and contribute to achieving ambitious environmental goals.
4. Public Sector and Government Projects: Government initiatives, such as infrastructure development and sustainability projects, are also expected to drive demand for PMPs. This includes both large-scale national projects and local government efforts to improve infrastructure and public services.
