Academic Bursaries for PM Toolkit Essentials Training Course |
Since 2004 MIME Solutions Ltd. has sponsored a youth windsurfing race club called the Manley Mere Katz. The club was formed as a response to the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) drive to encourage young windsurfers by developing a nation-wide network of clubs under an umbrella organization called 'Team 15'. The aim is to encourage young people who are interested in the sport to have fun, develop their skills and participate in local, regional and in some cases global race meetings. MIME provides volunteer coaching, funding for race kit and club co-ordination services.
Since inception Manley Mere Katz' membership has increased from 2 to 20, with 2 going on to represent the region nationally. For further information on Manley Mere Katz and T15 visit http://www.team15.org.uk, and on the club venue, Manley Mere, visit www.manleymere.co.uk. MIME Solutions Ltd. also provides triathlon sponsorship for two of it's employees who both race regularly in the UK. Both are members of the City of Chester Triathlon Club who organise events and training facilities. MIME provides equipment and funding for additional race kit.

Academic Bursaries for PM Toolkit Essentials Training Course The MIME Solutions academic bursary scheme has been introduced for the Project Management Toolkit Essentials Training Courses. These courses are structured around principal consultant Dr Trish Melton’s series of project management books, Project Management Toolkit, Real Project Planning and Project Benefits Management. The PM Toolkit Essentials series and workshops guide readers/participants through each of the key lifecycle stages that lead to effective project management and introduce a variety of ‘tried and tested’ unique and generic PM tools and techniques. To the point, brief and entirely practical, the tools presented in the PM Toolkit Essentials series provide a route map for project success. They are simple and effective resources that provide practical guidelines and actual case studies delivering valuable PM skills; making these titles suitable both as additional learning/refreshers for practicing Project Managers and as university textbooks. As a project / business change professional, Dr Melton brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm together by integrating input from both industrial and academic delegates. Dr Melton comments, ‘Everything is a project, whether it’s building a new lab, re-designing a production process, delivering research and/or design projects, or writing a dissertation! Delegate’s own experiences are vital for me in order to get everyone thinking in a ‘project way’ from their own perspective. I need delegates to think outside the box when it comes to the definition of a project, because the same principles always apply!’ MIME Solutions is currently offering a limited number of free of charge course places to students, and 50% discounted places to academics / researchers (VAT, transport and accommodation costs not included). Courses can be attended as a 3-day series, or for those interested in one particular PM area, as 1-day stand alone sessions. Comments have included: ‘I have been impressed by the quality of the course and by Dr Melton’s teaching skills and knowledge of Project Management. I appreciated the right balance of theory and practical examples and the ability to accommodate delegates’ experiences. Thanks to that, it is relevant to people with very different backgrounds, both industry and academia. The course has given me a good highlight on project management and I am really satisfied with what I have learned. Moreover, the books provided are very useful tools and I am sure I am going to use them extensively. In particular, I would recommend the courses to PhD students or researchers, as many might underestimate the potential of project management in the academic world.’ PhD Researcher, Edinburgh University ‘I really enjoyed the course. The content is really helpful for both supervisors and people in high research/management positions.’ PhD Researcher, Imperial College, London The next PM Toolkit Essentials training course is scheduled for May 18 – 21, 2009.
