At a time when companies are cutting down staff and training budgets,
we are blessed to be working in a company that not only retains staff
but also invests in the development and knowledge enhancement of its
employees, the Best Student award recipient for the Certificate in the
Selling course Darshana Narayana said.
Metro Academy is one of few in-house academies set up by a locally
owned group of companies to enhance and develop the skill and knowledge
of its own employees.
I have not come across any company that has an internal academy which
offers courses for their staff like the Metropolitan Academy, renowned
marketing lecturer Prasanna Perera said.
The forty three students who passed out received awards and
certificates in different categories such as 'Best Student' award for
each course offered.
The courses offered in the first year of the Academy includes
Certificate in Selling, Certificate in Communication for Business and
Advanced Certificate in Selling.
The Academy also plan on starting two new courses, a Certificate in
Marketing Management and a Certificate in Customer Relationship
Management to improve further their staff's future.
