Infotechs IDEAS coordinated the annual visit of the Cranfieid University UK post graduate students to Sri Lana recently. The students are linked up with selected SME companies who would like to have some help in specific areas of business development to undertake a specific project. The student groups start interacting with the respective partner companies whilst in UK and then visit the companies and work with them on arrival in Sri Lanka. The total number of students is usually about 20-25 and they are on placement for a period of 1-2 weeks. After returning to the UK they follow up and finalise the project plan.
Infotechs IDEAS is a multi-disciplinary development consultancy company based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The Company was established in 1999 and today is one of Sri Lanka`s leading and much sought after companies in providing consulting and project management services in Sri Lanka, and South Asian and African countries. Over the years the company has provided consultancy services to a portfolio of projects with an aggregated value of over USD 2 billion.
Infotechs IDEAS has been associated with the University of Cranfield on this Post Graduate student placement program for the past four years.
Their main resource person who conducts the initial orientation program for the students has been Srilal Miththapala, a senior tourism and business personality in Sri Lanka. Mr Miththapala brings to the program his wide knowledge and experience of Sri Lankan Businesses, giving a quick and wide overview of the key economic indicators and relevant business statistics, including tourism, during the orientation program. He then introduces Sri Lanka’s extensive Bio Diversity and environment (being an avid environmentalist & wild life enthusiast) and the outlines the need for sustainable development.
Usually, after the presentation there is a warm evening reception for tea and fellowship.
