Core Competencies in
Facility Management
OVERVIEW: Facility professionals are often asked to undertake and manage numerous tasks, from
small routine items to large complex projects and most times, simultaneously. Many of

they are knowledgeable in the relevant core disciplines to ensure that strategic
objectives and corporate goals are met.
This 3-day workshop will cover in detail, the core competencies of Facility

to the discipline. It will also present the opportunity to disseminate current issues within
the profession and the ability to propose possible solutions.
