Métier wins Second Stevie Award for Women in Business
SANTA ROSA, CA - November 15, 2011 - Métier, the PPM Company™, announced today their selection as the Community Involvement Program of the Year by the Stevie Awards for Women in Business. Métier is extremely honored to receive this recognition and accepted the honor at the Stevie Awards gala in New York City with other distinguished companies. The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs, and the companies they run - worldwide. The awards are one of four Stevie Awards programs, which have been hailed as the world's premier business awards.
Métier develops their social responsibility programs to provide the greatest return on investment for each philanthropic dollar invested. Métier developed and deployed Protectors to Project Managers to give back to America's veterans. The program offers project management training, Project Management Institute (PMI) certification, and professional development coaching to Wounded Warriors to prepare them for new careers as certified project managers.
Project management was named #5 in Money Magazine's "Best Careers in America" in 2010 and was also ranked as #2 in "Hot Skills for 2011" by the same source. Métier's Protectors to Project Managers program is a way for Métier to give back to the community by contributing more than just monetary donations. Instead, the program capitalizes on Métier's deep industry knowledge to give Wounded Warriors an opportunity to jump start a new career in project management. Métier's investment in project management training not only assists the Wounded Warriors, but also helps our economy to be more efficient by adding a larger number of certified project managers.
