- Facility management is a profession that encompasses multiple disciplines to ensure functionality of the built environment by integrating people, place, process and technology.

- Educational requirements for these managers vary widely, depending on the size and complexity of the organization. In small organizations, experience may be the only requirement needed to enter a position. Managers of highly complex services, such as contract administration, generally need at least a bachelor’s degree in business, human resources, or finance. Regardless of major, the curriculum should include courses in office technology, accounting, business mathematics, computer applications, human resources, and business law. Most facility managers have an undergraduate or graduate degree in engineering, architecture, construction management, business administration, or facility management. Many have a background in real estate, construction, or interior design, in addition to managerial experience.
- IFMA recognized degree programs in FM. Many FM degree programs exist across the country. Featured here are FM students at a recent IFMA conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.
- Facility managers work in a wide variety of settings, which means that they must be knowledgeable about both the organization or business that they serve, as well as skilled in many areas.
- Persons interested in becoming facility managers should be innovative, entrepreneurial, problem solvers, and good business people. Should have good communication skills and be able to establish effective working relationships with many different people, ranging from managers, supervisors, and professionals, to clerks and blue-collar workers. They should be analytical, detail-oriented, flexible, and decisive. They must also be able to coordinate several activities at once, quickly analyze and resolve specific problems, and cope with deadlines.
- Identified by IFMA, these competency areas were established for FM practice to asses competence.
- Finally, becoming certified in any profession is important. For example, the CFM offered by the International Facility Management Association can give prospective candidates an advantage in the job market.
