My Department engages external project management expertise as required to work on specific building projects in order to deliver my Department's School Building Programme.

At present there are 2 technical managers, 1 senior architect, 1 architect, and 14 architectural assistants in my Department's Planning & Building Unit who have qualifications in the area of project management. My Department is committed under its Human Resources Strategy to the development of its staff through training. Courses are provided as required to address identified skills needs.
