The U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA): Highlighting the Urgent Need for Project Management Skills

Signed into law in November 2021, the U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) introduces $550 billion of new spending for infrastructure projects including transportation and road proposals, broadband access, clean water, and electric grid renewal.
