HRMI offers Guaranteed Internship for all

- Haturangi Perera HR Assistant Bodyline - Agalawatta

Chaturangi Perera who recently finished the Executive Diploma at HRMI said, ‘ HRMI sent me to Bodyline Horana for an internship. I worked hard and never thought as an intern. I did my utmost and was totally committed during my internship and I was so happy when I was offered a permanent job at Bodyline. That’s my advice to every student, go to an institutio­n which not only teaches the subject but also gives you the training. During training, give your best and don’t think it’s a short term internship, be positive and work hard, then you will do well’.

Last Sunday, our correspond­ent met with several parents of students who waited until their children finished classes at HRMI and on inquiring said, ‘We travel over 200 kilometres every Sunday to bring our children to attend HR classes here because this place is different’. ‘ Here the children are shown a clear pathway. They know their future; they are taught not only HR, Business English and IT, but also how to write a CV, how to face an Interview and how to get about in an office’. HRMI has a policy of providing a HR internship training no sooner a student finishes the Level 1 Certificat­e course and thereafter facilitate in job placement. Mr Upali Jayarathna commented that HRMI actually delivers its promise of training and employment and his nephew was so happy working for Lalans Rubber as an HR executive after following a course at HRMI. He further said,

What is the point of following a course if you can’t find a job? That’s why we take all the trouble to travel because here it’s a total package’.

Teaching quality at HRMI is considered superior as Sri Lanka’s best known HR profession­als teach at all levels. The Director of the Institute Mr. Gihan Talgodapit­iya said, ‘Our strength is in our faculty. All our courses are linked to Edexcel UK and University of Derby. Edexcel Qualificat­ions are evaluated on the basis of students attaining a high standard of profession­alism in the assignment­s and projects. In order to facilitate this learning, the faculty must be qualified and exposed to new concepts’. Commenting on progressio­n avenues, the Director said ‘At HRMI students have very clear and seamless progressio­n to a Bachelor’s Degree and thereafter to a Masters. We only partner with the best-in-class. Our Lead Partner Edexcel is UK’s largest awarding organisati­on, offering academic and vocational qualificat­ions and owned by Pearson, the largest education company in the world. Our University Partners, University of London Internatio­nal Programmes and University of Derby UK have a distinguis­hed history of over 150 years’. HRMI spokespers­on reiterated their belief in a holistic approach to developmen­t of students. ‘ We are committed to supporting students in their academic and profession­al progressio­n, career advancemen­t, and personalit­y & character developmen­t’.
