Calcey Springboard is proud to announce that it will be offering select participants access to courses on edX, a global online learning platform.

Through edX, Calcey Springboard will be able to deliver high quality tech education to participants of its scholarship program.

Launched and run by Calcey – a US, Singapore, and Sri Lanka-based technology consulting and software product engineering services provider – Springboard aims to provide numerous unconditional scholarships to learners chosen through a strict testing process. “The MOOCs hosted on edX are among the best in the world. They come with a seal of approval from the world’s best universities and are of the highest quality.

Through edX, we’re able to give learners the opportunity to participate in an unrivaled learning experience,” said Calcey Springboard Lead and Technical Project Manager Eranjan Punchihewa.

Calcey Springboard is Sri Lanka’s first program of its nature, and is part of Calcey’s commitment to invest back into the wider community. “As a leading IT services exporter in Sri Lanka, we have a duty to help widen the tech talent pool of the country by contributing to eliminate the barriers deserving students face in aspiring to receive a high quality education.

“We believe that a talented, globally competitive workforce can be a powerful way to propel our nation’s economy forward, particularly as the world enters an unprecedented new era in which life and tech are very much intertwined,” said Calcey Founder and CEO Mangala Karunaratne.
