Deadline looms for university students to enter CIMA Global Business Challenge 2015

Sri Lanka’s university undergraduates, seeking to improve their employment prospects, are rushing to register for the CIMA Global Business Challenge 2015, an international business competition, ahead of the entry deadline on 15 March 2015.

Organised by CIMA, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, in partnership with Barclays, the Global Business Challenge is a business competition for undergraduates around the world, designed to showcase talent in business management and identify young business leaders of the future. Entrants must form a team of four people to compete. Acting as business consultants, they will analyse and solve a real-life business case study. Competitors will have a chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Warsaw, Poland, to represent their country at the global final.

Andrew Harding, Managing Director of CIMA, said: “We believe in the importance of developing and nurturing young talent around the world. The Global Business Challenge gives students the opportunity to gain firsthand experience of business leadership. Competitors will be able to build essential business skills as well as meet with and learn from decision-makers from top employers. The opportunity will enhance their CVs and career prospects. With the deadline for entry fast approaching, we encourage students to enter now and avoid missing out.”
