Current Market Landscape
It is said - ‘A group of team members without a project manager is like a cricket team without a captain.’ Project Management is an indispensable function for business and is used as a means of achieving strategic objectives. Being an integral part of every organization, Project Management demands highly skilled personnel to handle its niche position and many organizations are already recruiting only certified Project Management Professionals (PMP) for the post of Project Mangers. Additionally, PMP certified project mangers get 15-20 percent more salary compared to other project managers. According to Project Management Institute (PMI), the world's leading non-profit professional membership association for the project, program and portfolio management profession, the normal yearly compensation for PMP certified Project Managers in the U.S. is $111,824, practically $14,000 more than the compensation of those without PMP certification.

Understanding the need for skill acquisition and a certified PMP coaching among present-day working professionals, GreyCampus renders higher quality certified courses to lead all their candidates into competitive-edge.

Work Culture
GreyCampus’ teaching faculty are mostly experienced industry practitioners with over 15 years of experience and everyone is empanelled through a rigorous process which includes validating their credentials, experience and teaching competency. However, the organization does share research insights with the faculty on industry trends and conducts regular sessions to modern pedagogic tools that could be used to enhance teaching efficacy. During the ‘train-the-trainer’ sessions, the best practices and student feedbacks are constantly shared with the faculty member, which eventually keeps them motivated.
Apart from this, the organization also holds a friendly and people-centric organizational pattern supported with a meritocratic culture where performance is recognized and rewarded. GreyCampus always strives to keep their work environment inclusive, challenging and fun at the same time.
Future plans
The institution is receiving significant growth and the firm aims to cross 1 million successful learners within next few years. While expanding into more domains and services, the organization is also working on several open resources for their community of learners to address the growing competency gaps and skill needs.
One of the ambitious projects of GreyCampus includes - CodeLabs where the institution is building browser-driven live labs for new-age programming languages including Python, Ruby, PHP, Angular and many more. These labs come loaded with learning content and are designed to be open learning platforms and completely free.
Looking ahead, the institution wants to be a matchless player in innovation and technology. They are developing programs in areas like Blockchain, IOT, Machine Learning and predictive Career Counseling online portals. In the years to come, we can expect more innovations from GreyCampus that can efficiently address the skill gaps in the industry.
