I am a process engineer with more than a decade’s experience, seven years of which working in Hong Kong. I have been looking for a change of direction in recent months and I read an article that said project management is a sector that is expected to grow in the coming years, and that there is a severe shortage of talent.

I am naturally very interested in this sector, but I am unsure how to move into it. Will retraining be needed? Is the transition from my field of work a relatively straightforward one or are there obstacles?
