CIMA and Wijeya Media Networks to host bilingual session on higher education in uncertain times!

Leading its journey in nurturing management accountants and business leaders worldwide, The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants has been in the forefront in guiding students into a world of global opportunities. Whilst management accountants manage businesses around the world, CIMA members are also groomed to be business leaders, innovators, and impact makers, with multifaceted roles to play in whichever sector or company they work for.

While preparing for uncertainties of the new world, adapting to change and thriving at such times, depend on the skills and competencies of each individual. CIMA has thus come forward to guide the next generation of youth who’ve just completed their A/Ls. Although the second wave of COVID has posed a new set of challenges to our students, it’s time to understand the realities of these extraordinary times and move forward towards success. And who best to speak about success than industry leaders who themselves are established CIMA members?

With these objectives in mind, CIMA along with Wijeya Media Networks has organised a webinar comprising of a distinguished panel of speakers.
