New Project Management & Transformational Leadership Institute Launches in Puerto Rico

The establishment of the Project Management & Transformational Leadership Institute (PMTL Institute) by TEAM 1144 and the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez (UPR-Mayagüez) represents a significant advancement in professional education on the island. This initiative is designed to meet the growing demand for professionals skilled in managing complex projects, especially those related to Puerto Rico's reconstruction and resilience initiatives.

Spearheaded by Nesty Delgado, a UPR-Mayagüez alumnus and founder of TEAM 1144, the PMTL Institute aims to blend academic excellence with industry expertise. The institute's curriculum focuses on project management, transformational leadership, and change management, preparing professionals to lead not just projects but also organizational and community transformations.

The timing of the PMTL Institute's launch is pivotal, as Puerto Rico sees an influx of investment in infrastructure projects. The institute's comprehensive programs are expected to equip professionals with the necessary skills to manage these projects effectively, addressing a critical gap in the island's workforce.

Endorsed by Manuel Cidre, Secretary of the Department of Economic Development and Commerce, the PMTL Institute has garnered significant support from the Puerto Rican government. This backing highlights the institute's potential to impact Puerto Rico's economic future positively, aligning with broader efforts to foster recovery and growth through education and professional development.

Under the leadership of Dr. Roberto Seijo, the PMTL Institute ensures its offerings meet high academic standards while remaining accessible to professionals island-wide. This approach not only facilitates professional growth but also contributes to the development of a skilled workforce capable of driving Puerto Rico's reconstruction and economic revitalization forward.

The PMTL Institute's focus on advanced topics like change management and transformational leadership underscores its commitment to preparing graduates for the challenges of leading in times of change. As Puerto Rico continues on its path to recovery, the institute stands as a key player in cultivating the next generation of leaders who will navigate the island towards resilience and prosperity.
