Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Offer learners from Georgetown University the opportunity to be your virtual interns, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on one or more projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.


Georgetown University is an approved provider of project management training by the Project Management Institute (PMI)(r). Learners in this program study both predictive and agile project management methodology. They learn how to execute projects to deliver business value as well as plan and manage schedules, budgets, risks and scope. Beyond project management fundamentals, they learn how to lead teams successfully, empower their team members and influence stakeholders. At the end of the program, learners use action-based exercises and the in-depth examination of case studies to apply their learning.


Elevate our students' understanding and mastery of project management while providing support for your key projects with a project-based virtual intern.
