Partner (REP) Program

University Partner Program for Sustainability-Focused Project Management Education

Whether you are launching a new project management program or strengthening an existing one, the GPM University Partner Program provides the curriculum, tools, and institutional alignment you need to deliver sustainability-focused project management education that prepares students for the profession as it is actually practiced today.

As a UN Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) Supporting Organization, GPM helps institutions align their programs with responsible management practice while equipping students with the competencies to lead sustainable projects — grounded in the PMI-GPM P5™ Standard and the GPM Sustainability Competence Standard.

 

Sustainability is now a hiring criterion, a regulatory requirement, and a professional standard. Universities that equip students with these competencies are producing graduates employers are actively looking for.


What the Partnership Includes

Complete Turnkey Course Packages

PowerPoints, exercises, practice guides, instructor notes, session timings, and assessments — everything needed for seamless delivery with no development time required from your faculty.

Sustainability-Focused Learning Programs

Courses grounded in the PMI-GPM P5™ Standard and PRiSM™ methodology, aligned with GRI, ISSB, and UN SDG frameworks. Students learn what sustainability in project delivery actually requires, not just what it aspires to.

Interactive Exercises and Real-World Applications

Hands-on activities and case studies that connect theory to practice, built around tools students will use in the field: the P5 Impact Analysis, Sustainability Management Plan, and materiality assessment methods.

Train-the-Trainer Programs

Structured faculty development so your instructors can deliver GPM content with confidence. Includes content knowledge, pedagogical approaches, and ongoing support from GPM subject matter experts.

Professional Certification Pathways

Students can earn the CSPP™ (formerly GPM-b™) certification — now part of the PMI certification family — giving graduates a globally recognized credential that reflects demonstrated sustainability competence. GPM is IACET accredited; CEUs are recognized by employers, universities, and professional associations worldwide.

Department-Level Consulting

Tailored advisory support to align your program structure, learning outcomes, and accreditation objectives with responsible management education standards and sustainability competence frameworks.


Designed for Effective Learning

GPM course packages are built on universal design principles to promote inclusivity, engagement, and measurable student outcomes. Course objectives, instructional strategies, and assessments are aligned from the outset, reducing faculty preparation time and giving students a clear, coherent learning path. Content is developed in close collaboration with faculty and regularly updated to reflect the current state of sustainability standards, disclosure requirements, and professional practice.


The GPM Advantage for Universities

Save faculty time

Ready-to-deliver materials mean your faculty can launch or scale a sustainability-focused program without starting from scratch.

 

Deliver industry-recognized content

GPM standards are used by organizations in more than 100 countries and are now part of the PMI ecosystem — giving your students credentials with real market recognition.

 

Align with responsible management standards

As a UN PRME Supporting Organization, GPM helps institutions build programs that meet the expectations of responsible management education accreditors and rankings.

 

Produce career-ready graduates

Students leave with globally recognized certifications, practical tools, and the sustainability competencies that employers in every sector are now actively seeking.

When you partner with GPM, your institution joins a global network working to make sustainability a core competence for the next generation of project professionals — not an elective topic.
