How to Thrive in the U.S. Project Management Talent Gap
Inside the U.S. PM Shortage — And How to Shine Brighter
Are you ready for a future in which project managers will be more valuable than ever, but only if they evolve?
The U.S. Project Management Talent Crunch is Real
According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), by 2035, the U.S. will face a shortage of up to 1.3 million project professionals — fueled by rising demand and a wave of retirements (Talent_Gap_2025-v3).
Project management is one of the fastest-growing professions globally, and nearly 30 million new professionals will be needed in the next decade. The U.S. is not immune.
Industries like healthcare, tech, energy, and construction are under pressure to deliver complex projects. We’re not just lacking quantity; we also need the right talent.
“You are in demand. Your work matters. Now, more than ever.” — Pierre Le Manh, President & CEO, PMI
