LAHES-NUS (National University of Singapore) executive education programs were launched in Sri Lanka, addressing a much-needed requirement in the country for quality developmental programs. The primary objective of offering the highly acclaimed programs in Sri Lanka is to bring global knowledge and expertise to the country, making executive education readily available.

During the year, two LAHES-NUS programs were conducted, which were well attended by a mix of public and private sector participants, representing diverse industries. The programs were designed and delivered by the faculty of the NUS Business School. Both programs were four days in duration and were held at the state-of-the-art campus of LAHES at Level 22, West Tower, World Trade Centre.

LAHES will be offering a range of programs next year, addressing the developmental needs of both the public and private sector employees. The program calendar includes the LAHES-NUS General Management Development Program in February 2013, LAHES-NUS Train the Trainers Program in May 2013, LAHES-NUS Supply Chain Management Program in July 2013 and LAHES-NUS Strategic Human Capital Management Program in September 2013.

These programs are open-enrollment programs, where companies/individuals can register participants at any time, prior to the program. The class size is limited to 35 participants, hence early registrations are encouraged. The programs are highly interactive and experiential in nature, through the use of a variety of learning tools.

LAHES took the initiative to bring the best, globally recognised development programs to our country through the partnership with the NUS Business School. The programs address specific development needs of our country and are customised to fit the participant profiles.

“Acknowledged as one of the finest universities in the Asia-Pacific region, NUS is ranked 2nd in Asia and placed 29th among the world’s top 100 universities by The Times Higher Education – Quacquarelli Symonds (THE-QS) World University Rankings,” stated Vindhya Weeratunga, Director/Chief Executive Officer LAHES.

With a 100+ strong faculty representing over 20 nationalities, NUS Business School has gained a world-class reputation for delivering the ‘Best of the East and West’ in business education. The faculty members hold doctorates from the best universities in the world and also have extensive exposure in the corporate world.

Associate Professor Prem Shamdasani, Associate Dean, Executive Education, NUS Business School and Academic Director of the Asia-Pacific Executive MBA Program commented, “We aspire to be the global business school leading from Asia. NUS Executive Education aims to provide rigorous, relevant and rewarding business education that transform individuals, organisations and communities so as to shape business leaders for Asia and globally. ”
