Hey guys, I know a bunch of you work in this field so I am looking for some suggestions.
I currently work as a Foreman in the construction industry, I have 6+ years field experience in this industry starting at labourer essentially and working up to Foreman. I would like to transition into a project management career and I feel like starting at project coordinator is a perfect transition from Foreman as a I have basic experience bidding, estimating, scheduling etc so I would have a good understanding of the position but would be able to learn a lot and it would be a challenge. I also have completed a Bachelor Degree in Management.
The problem that I am finding is that almost all job posting for Project Coordinator are looking for a technical diploma/degree in Architecture/Engineering which I do not have.
I am looking for suggestions on how to get past this hurdle as it feels like not having a technical diploma is getting my resume filtered out before it can be seriously reviewed. Would getting a Project Management Certificate from UofC/Sait/MRU to combine with my Bachelor Degree be worth it at this point? Looking for any suggestions
