CIMA launches career guidance in Kandy

CIMA Kandy will launch the first in a series of career guidance programmes titled “Business” at the University of Peradeniya on September 29. CIMA (the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) provides an extensive range of learning resources to assist their members with professional development.

The “Business” programme is offered to undergraduates of the University of Peradeniya and has been designed to aid skills development and ultimately increase employability at graduate level.

The training sessions will be conducted by Director, CEO of Bogawantalawa Plantations Ltd, MD/CEO of Asha Institute of Management and a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Colombo and University of Moratuwa, Sarath Fernando.

Over 300 students from the faculties of arts, agriculture, veterinary science, engineering, dentistry, and allied health science are expected to participate in the programme.

CIMA is seeking active involvement outside of the main market of Colombo to support education in Sri Lanka and directly benefit the student population in smaller communities in aspects of professional development.

This year has already witnessed the opening of the first CIMA office outside of Colombo as a first step in this effort.
