Abstract

This paper aims to review the simulation-based training (SBT) model to develop project management competencies for industrial employees. Microsoft Project was used as simulation media to support training. We suggest that SBT gives many advantages as a method for developing project management competency. Descriptive-survey study was conducted with 100 trainees. The findings that around 61.5% project management knowledge has improved, 89% project management knowledge has improved, and 98% personal competency has improved.
