Celebrating next generation of marketers at the SLIM Graduation Ceremony 2021
The Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing recently held its Graduation Ceremony on the 13th of December 2021 at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH) in Colombo.
With a morning session from 08:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and an evening session from 02.00 p.m. to 06:00 p.m., this ceremony recognised the efforts of students who had successfully completed the Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing (PGDIP), the Diploma in Strategic Brand Management (DSBM), the National Diploma in Sales Management (NDSM), the Diploma in Digital Marketing (DDM), the MBA in Marketing and those who achieved the status of Certified Professional Marketer (CPM).
Addressing the graduates of 2021, Thilanka Abeywardena, the President of SLIM, expressed her hopes for the students to “be determined to continue with [your] studies as knowledge creation is the sure way to become a fully-fledged professional, adding value to any sphere as you pursue the career of your choice. In addition, knowledge inculcates self-confidence and enhances one’s personality. To have continuous professional development, a perfect blend of acquired and practical knowledge is required. That is your key to success. Using your intuition, you should convert your learned theoretical knowledge into practical knowledge to overcome challenges as you embark on your journey through life.”
She further elaborated on the mission of SLIM and its prospects, giving insight into “a ‘Future-Ready Sri Lanka’. As the national body for marketing in Sri Lanka, we at SLIM believe in stepping forward to drive this concept of a generation of competent, skilled marketers who are ready to take on the struggles of modern-day businesses.”
SLIM’s effort towards enhancing and continuously developing marketing education in Sri Lanka and its commitment towards the profession is undeniable. Embodying its role as the national body for Marketing in Sri Lanka, SLIM continues to guide students towards their marketing goals, starting them off on their journey towards achieving their business-oriented goals and dreams. Congratulations to the graduates of 2021!
