MASSEGE FROM THE RCU SECRETARY

- Mithila Mendis

The Brand EDEX has, over a decade and a half, delivered it’s promise of bringing new and relevant opportunit­ies to career aspirants of Sri Lanka. The wide range of activities and programmes linked to EDEX has converted the events conducted by EDEX to a wholesome brand for Higher Education, Skills Developmen­t and Career Guidance.

As we inaugurate the EDEX Mid – Year Expo for 2018, we are reminded of our journey and the pace of change we have observed during the existence of EDEX. Hence, while I congratula­te the EDEX Team for continuing to provide a consistent Platform to the Sri Lankan Youth, I wish to assure continuous innovation and realignmen­t to the current and future generation­s of career aspirants.

It is said that in a decade, the jobs available are going to be indistingu­ishable from those of today. Technology is turning many long-standing jobs to obsolescen­ce at a pace, which some find hard to emulate. This is the Challenge that EDEX continuous­ly addresses and will keep transformi­ng itself to stay relevant and current at all times.

The Royal College Union is proud to have spearheade­d this nationally important endeavor and is committed to sustaining this worthy enterprise for the benefit of Sri Lanka. I wish to take this opportunit­y to thank the organizing committee for the unwavering commitment in performing such a detailed exercise time and time again.
