However, a report released by the Project Management Institute (PMI) forecasted the drastic increase of opportunities in project management as a career by 2027 in the following industries: management and professional services, manufacturing, finance and insurance, information services and publishing, construction, utilities, and oil and gas.

The skills attained in the field of PM are proven to yield a variety of beneficial learning outcomes, which can be implemented in numerous industries. Some of the skills include problem-solving, leadership, collaboration, and communication.
