Facing challenges alone is difficult.  The professional network and training that WEC can provide to participants creates a pool of knowledge that will add value for all professionals” – says Faris Ismail, CEO and Managing Director of Achievers Lanka Business School

The human connectivity achieved by WEC 2012 will help professionals like him to build on vision and strategies for professional education school such as Achievers Campus. The WEC 2012 would provide an impetus to collaboration and partnership among educational institutions, something that Mr. Faris had always tried to promote.  The human connectivity that WEC 2012 could produce should help all participants to understand the important academic issues affecting an Institution’s viability in today’s fast paced business environment.
