CIPM Sri Lanka recently entered into a memorandum of understanding with the General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University (KDU) to expand educational opportunities and explore new vistas for their students. 

“We are confident that the learning and professional development opportunities at CIPM, which are widely acknowledged as the best in the field of HRM and industry, our international affiliations with people management organizations such as the Asia Pacific Federation of Human Resource Management (APFHRM), World Federation of People Management Associations (WFPMA), and regional HRM bodies will open new vistas for the students,” CIPM Sri Lanka CEO U. A. C Obeyesekere said.

“The knowledge exchanges envisaged in this collaboration between two like-minded institutions, KDU and CIPM, will no doubt benefit the students and faculty alike,” he added.
