In a groundbreaking effort to up-skill the southern youth of Sri Lanka, the Apex Business Academy and Target Resource Ltd. collaborated on a worthy initiative in early November in Matara. The event saw 200 young CIMA students going through intense training to make them job-ready through a program called ‘Winning Skills’.

The audience was highly engaged throughout interactive sessions. Apex Managing Director Deshani Gamage and recent winner of the Best Female Entrepreneur of the Year award, in a competition organised by the Chamber of Commerce, in her welcome speech stated that she wished to see many future corporate leaders who would take business by storm from the audience. Over 90% of the audience said they wanted to reach that goal. The program was very effectively conducted by founder, director and lead facilitator of Target Resource Ltd., Deepanie Perera. Apex Business Academy is the largest CIMA tuition partner in the south and is a sought-after educational service provider based in Matara and Galle (https://www.facebook.com/.../Apex-Business-Academy) powered by the industry’s best resources in lecturing. 2013 saw Apex produce a world prize winner at the CIMA operational level examination from Galle, the only world prize Sri Lanka secured in the exam.
