Facility managers are being asked to take responsibility for an increasingly broad range of functions, from environmental management to ergonomics, from furniture standards to financial management. They are being called upon to influence the strategic decision making of their organizations. Many aspire to join the C-suite at a time when the outsourcing of facility management is changing their career path options. This presentation will help attendees answer the questions: How can facility managers advance their careers? What continuing education and training do they need? What opportunities exist in the FM job Market?
