Box Hill Institute is equipped with internatio­nal experience and capacity needed to design programs to reach local needs. Not every aspect of Australia might suit Sri Lanka therefore Box Hill Institute wish to engage in the market to observe, listen to the industry and then see in what areas it can help collaborat­e.
