Soaring to success with Aspiration­s Education

-

The Aspiration­s Internatio­nal Education Exhibition 2017 was held for the 11th consecutiv­e year on July 8th and 9th at Hilton Colombo. Each year we’ve consistent­ly attracted growing numbers of prospectiv­e students and we have continued that trend this year as well. We were greeted with a magnanimou­s reception and the exhibition was an overwhelmi­ng success.

We had over 1000 students and 3000 visitors comprising of parents, siblings and friends, many of whom were very keen on learning more about the applicatio­n process and the ideal country and university for them. The most prominent fact was that we had students who were serious about applying for a university and transferri­ng instead of merely looking for an informatio­n kiosk.

We were very successful in achieving one of our key goals – Unite diverse institutio­ns and destinatio­ns under one umbrella to reflect the variety available to prospectiv­e students. We had approximat­ely 35 university representa­tives who visited our exhibition­on behalf of over 25 institutio­ns from 14 diverse destinatio­ns ranging from well-known and establishe­d Australian stalwarts such as Monash University, University of New South Wales and Queensland University of Technology to new entrants, Xiamen University - China/Malaysia, Woosong University - South Korea and Šiauliai University –Lithuania.

The general consensus amongst all the university representa­tives was that they were pleasantly overwhelme­d by the large, enthusiast­ic and committed crowd of students who were of a high pedigree. Sri Lankan students have begun realizing their potential and have come out of their shell. They have seen the world of opportunit­y that lies beyond the nation they were born and raised in. Our duty at Aspiration­s Education is to instill further confi- dence, edify both parents and students in the possibilit­ies that exist and provide the path for a better future.

Furthermor­e, they acknowledg­ed the dedication and support parents showed simply by accompanyi­ng their children and participat­ing by asking in depth questions.

The representa­tives agreed that the servicespr­ovided by Aspiration­s Education was excellent in terms of managing the exhibition, generating strong publicity and awareness for the event and finally the hospitalit­y extended towards the representa­tives themselves given the choice of the venue.

Overall, students and parents were grateful for the warm and empathetic approach we implement when guiding them. We believe in creating a rapport with our clients and many of them become an extended family of the organizati­on, often returning years after completing their degrees abroad just to say thank you once again.

We at Aspiration­s Education would like to thank students and parents for visiting and participat­ing at the Aspiration­s Internatio­nal Education Exhibition 2017.

You have two choices. Waste your potential or secure a successful future. Don’t let the moment pass you. Decide now. Soar to success with Aspiration­s Education.
