As business grows markets expand and consumers demand more. Skills and knowledge are identified as two key elements by Expolanka Freight group to gain the advantage of speed and quality in logistics to service clients in the competitive fields of exports. Clients need and expect the best solutions with least risk and cost-effective logistics solutions from service companies.

The business development unit and the human resources division of EFL group has taken the initiative to train its staff on focused capacity building whilst giving the youngsters to understand the work they do in an academic sense to improve the quality of the work they do.

Director Business Development Daminda Mulgama said, “In doing business we need to understand the other side of the coin, from customers’ point of view as well as supporting services’ role such as customs, ports, etc. We partner with Shippers’ Academy Colombo as they have the ability to deliver exporter/importer based logistic training with a lot of practical knowledge they build into the training, and at the end of the day give a well-recognised certifications to the students to guide them for higher studies and develop the carrier path one wishes to progress.”

Shippers’ Academy Colombo CEO Rohan Masakorala said, “As a shipper based training institute we train people way beyond the subject of logistics as international trade is a spectrum of knowledge, that makes a good logistician, we teach them common sense in business, and of course they have the option of getting a back to back certification in Australia and earn Chartered Management Accountants, Australia membership as our curriculum is well-recognised by Australia.”
