YESL programmes are approved by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, and conducts programmes in schools and all the universities.

YESL will conduct the worldwide popular company programme which guides students to set up true to life companies, where the members are shareholders, where they elect board of directors: President, Marketing Director, Finance Director, Production/Operations Director, IT Director, CSR Director etc. They prepare Business Plans, conduct Board meetings, operate bank accounts, maintain all records, prepare Annual reports, declare dividends to the Shareholders, liquidate the Company, to get the exposure of the business world, and develop their presentation and communication skills and to be self-dependent.

Mr. Patrick Amarasinghe, President of YESL, thanks FERRERO for their CSR initiative in recognizing the importance of this programme and focusing on sponsoring these students to be entrepreneurial and job creators, which is a very important contribution to our country.
