RIMS, George Mason University provide risk management workshops for federal employees
RIMS, the risk management society, has partnered with George Mason University’s Continuing and Professional Education (CPE) to offer a series of workshops to improve risk management skills for federal employees and executives.
The workshops will be based on the RIMS-CRMP-FED (RIMS-Certified Risk Management Professional Federal Government credential), which was developed in collaboration with the Association for Federal Enterprise Risk Management (AFERM). The RIMS-CRMP-FED is a micro-credential of the RIMS-CRMP, the only accredited risk management certification in the world.
The first in the series of workshops will be held on May 24-26, 2021.
Mary Roth, chief executive officer at RIMS, said: “The RIMS-CRMP and the RIMS-CRMP-FED marks of achievement indicate to business and government leaders that their risk professionals are knowledgeable and qualified to not only navigate the next big disruption but also support rapidly evolving strategies.”
Marc Austin, executive director of professional education and academic ventures at Mason, added: “Anyone who makes decisions for their organisation applies risk management thinking in their work, which is why we feel this training is so foundational.”
