Seven New Educational Tracks For Facility Managers at NFMT Baltimore
Milwaukee, Wis. (March 2, 2018) — The National Facilities Management & Technology Show (NFMT takes place March 20-22 at the Baltimore Convention Center. In efforts to offer the most comprehensive educational tracks in the industry, NFMT recently surveyed thousands of FMs to research specific competency skills needed to be considered a proficient facility manager. This year, conference tracks have been designed specifically to align with the areas of focus derived from the survey results. NFMT conference tracks will include:
Smart Building Innovations Conference tracks, an event co-located with NFMT, include:
"It's clear that FMs are asking for more specific training standards, and they're looking to us to raise the bar on education," comments Amy Brown, director of education and conferencing. "This year, we are excited to focus on these core areas identified by the survey results."
Findings were also used to set the standard for a new certification pathway, the new ProFM credential, intended to fill the educational gap in the facility management industry. Having been described as "built by FMs, for FMs," the ProFM credential is a comprehensive designation created to set a new global standard in the industry. ProFM and NFMT have been working together since early 2017 to advance the facility management profession and elevate the educational training standard.
