Design, Partnering, Management, and Innovation (DPMI) is 3-week training open to development professionals, career-changers, and graduate students. The modules include (1) Managing Development Projects, (2) Social Change and Participatory Development, and (3) Strategic Partnership and Social Entrepreneurship. DPMI uses a cross-sector approach, taking promising practices from the development field and combining these tools with successful concepts drawn from the private sector.
The focus of this course is to apply and practice leadership methods within the areas of international development project management and social change. We are looking for a diverse group of individuals whose passion revolves around the development and empowerment of communities at large. Apply for January programs offered in Monterey and/or Rwanda by October 31.

-Learn ground-breaking and ‘tried and true’ tools to solving problems, motivating staff, and establishing partnerships.
-Use the tools and standards set by major non-profits that break down and quantify processes through the lifespan of a project.
-Gain critical project management skills. And learn how to put your training into action.
