The modern construction industry needs not just managers, but engineer-managers—specialists who deeply understand construction technologies and simultaneously possess strategic and project management competencies. The professional retraining program "Manager in Strategic and Project Management" combines the solid engineering training of ISI master's students with modern management practices, developing personnel capable of leading investment and construction projects and determining the direction of the industry's development, noted Marina Petrochenko.
By studying this program, students gain comprehensive knowledge of the organizational, economic, and technological issues necessary for effective management in the construction industry. This is a truly excellent opportunity to obtain a second qualification for career development in construction, combining their primary and secondary studies," emphasized Olga Kalinina.
The "Manager in Strategic and Project Management" program is based on the professional standard "Manager of a Construction Organization" and was created specifically for master's students at the Civil Engineering Institute in the following areas: "Information Modeling of Urban Development Projects," "Digital Construction of Buildings and Structures," "Urban Construction and Infrastructure," "Organization and Management of Investment and Construction Projects," and "Roads, Bridges, and Transport Tunnels."
The main goal of the program is to train highly qualified specialists for organizational, managerial, and analytical work in the investment and construction sectors. The duration of study is one year. Upon successful completion of the program, master's students receive a diploma of professional retraining.
