SLF has extended its training programs to meet tailor made requirements of corporate institutions irrespective of the magnitude of their operations. Lanka Sathosa together with SLF embarked on a series of training programs to develop the soft skills abilities of their entire team through multiple workshops. The whole initiative focuses on backing the revamping drive of the workforce to meet the competitive demands of the retail industry.

Batches of employees ranging from managers and regional heads on a top down approach were taken for these training programs. They were exposed to both action learning in the class room as well as activity based learning in an enriching environment with multiple experiences. As a part of this exercise they were also given new concepts in wellbeing covering diverse perspectives. SLF has entered into many strategic partnerships with both local and international Institutions. These partnerships have added more value and recognition to the study programs of the SLF. The SLF has made its mark as an emerging educational hub situated in the heart of Colombo in a salubrious and enriching environment overlooking the Independence Square in Colombo 7. The SLF is also blessed with ample space adequate facilities and has the capacity to cater to multiple demands which will eventually enable participants to gain a wonderful learning experience. A good number of study programs of the SLF are open to all and it is encouraging to see a large number of corporate entities now building private-public sector partnerships with SLF while major segments in the public sector too are engaged in similar activities.

Today, Sri Lanka Foundation is on a stronger footing where it is regularised under an Act of Parliament, The Sri Lanka Foundation Law No.31 of 1973. Sri Lanka Foundation functions autonomously under the purview of the Presidential Secretariat of Sri Lanka and is managed by a Board under the chairmanship of Prof. Ranjit Bandara and is gradually becoming the most popular and demanding learning centre for many in the country.
