My journey to Chartered Project Professional (ChPP).

The webinar on Tuesday 14 July 2020 was an opportunity to hear a candid career journey from a black, female project professional. It explores strengths and weaknesses, and how these have been leveraged to overcome challenges and create achievements. It also includes frustrations and hopes for the profession and views on the changes needed to support a new generation of project professionals.

The session also sought to answer the following questions through insights and experiences:

  • Being a BAME professional in projects – what does that mean to you?
  • What have been the hurdles for you to overcome in your career?
  • Role models/inspirations.
  • Reasons for going for Chartered.
  • Benefit/recognition to you in and out of Arup of holding ChPP.
