Last year I was fortunate to have the opportunity to complete the FIDIC Young Professionals Management Training Programme (YPMTP). This is an online course over 5 months with the final 4 days being completed in the city which hosts the FIDIC International Infrastructure Conference. The conference last year was held in Jakarta. The in-person meeting with the other course participants was the highlight of the course for me and probably one of the highlights of my career. 

The range of cultures and calibre of attendees was truly humbling – 17 countries and 6 continents were represented. Most of these attendees were selected by their respective companies and national organisations. As part of this course, we worked closely together with leaders and managers from different countries and cultures. Overall, this was very special, and dare I say it, life-changing experience.

To employers thinking about supporting staff on this course, the YPMTP will teach attendees about some of the challenges and important decisions that go into managing a consultancy. I think this understanding is valuable for any consultant, whether they work in management or in a technical role. To those thinking about joining the YPMTP, it is an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of managing a consulting business and an opportunity to develop an unparalleled global network of consultants and friends.
