IPM Sri Lanka, one of the leaders in human resource management - is in the forefront of the quest to inspire bright young minds to consider and choose a career in human resource management which is now considered one of the most fulfilling and fastest growing professions in the world.
This came to light recently when the brightest young mind in the GCE A/L Arts Stream of 2017 in the Kurunegala district who was also ranked No. 7 in the island, Ms. Sanjula Hettiarachchi, was inspired by IPM’s reputation and standing as an HR institute to enroll in the IPM Foundation Course in Human Resource Management (FCHRM).
In recognition of her achievement and to further encourage her in the chosen career path of HR, Ms. Hettiarachchi was awarded a scholarship by IPM at the IPM head office recently. The scholarship was presented to Ms. Hettiarachchi by P. G. Tennakoon - Chief Operating Officer, IPM Sri Lanka.
“Human resource management professionals play a crucial role in helping organizations achieve their strategic goals and objectives. Their ever increasing contribution to organisational well being is gaining recognition at all levels of the organisation which is driving a surge in demand for human resource management professionals,” said Prof. Ajantha Dharmasiri, President, IPM Sri Lanka.
“We are encouraged by the bright young minds like Ms. Hettiarachchi joining the IPM Business School to pursue a career in HRM which is one of the most fulfilling and rewarding careers available today,” he added.
IPM makes it easy and convenient for students and professionals alike to access its services by establishing regional centers and branches across the country thereby eliminating the need to travel to Colombo. Regional Centers have already been established in five regional cities including in Kurunegala. Ms. Hettiarachchi is enrolled at the IPM Kurunegala Regional Center which is conveniently located in the center of the city.
IPM’s curricula is regularly updated in order to be relevant to the dynamic market situation. The teaching methods adopted are not limited to exams but incorporate many other activities which provide exposure to practical aspects.
