Pro X New Zealand Ltd is now in Sri Lanka
View(s):Pro X New Zealand is a family owned Education Consultancy company based in New Zealand. The company was founded by two Sri Lankan professional who migrated to New Zealand in the latter part of the 90s. Founder director Asoka Weerasundara is not a stranger to Sri Lanka. 
He was well known as a cricket commentator over the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation and the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation during the 90s.
He still fondly remembers the times when he anchored the 1996 world cup games from the studios of SLRC.
He was also the CEO/Managing Director of Merchant Credit of Sri Lanka before migrating to New Zealand. He read for his MBA at the Post Graduate Institute of Management of University of Sri Jayewardenepura.
Successivegovernments in New Zealand have identified the international education as a growth sector in New Zealand and have introduced various positive steps to foster this.
Current Tertiary Education Minister (including Economic development and skills and employment) Honourable Mr Steven Joyce has clearly identified the contribution international students make to the New Zealand economy.
New Zealand is one of the very few developed countries that have a clear career and future pathway for international students. Under the current immigration policies of New Zealand, international students can stay back and join the work force.
Keeping this in mind immigration New Zealand has introduced schemes such as “study to work” and ‘Graduate Job Search Visa’ to facilitate this student path ways after they complete their studies.
Chalaka the other founder director of Pro X added “This is the exact reason Pro X thought of venturing in to Sri Lanka” This gives us a chance to serve the Sri Lankan student population with a pathway to greater things in life and secure futures.
Most people think of obtaining the student visa as the end objective. Asoka was of the opinion that obtaining the student visa is only one stage of a long journey. He added “Pro X knows this by experience after working with students who have moved to New Zealand” They need support and assistance all throughout.
We can do that as we are based in New Zealand. We have our representatives in Sri Lanka but at the same time we also have a sound network in New Zealand” Asoka added
In addition to direct student consultations, Pro X is also actively involved in building bridges between the two countries education providers.
The first such project will see the light shortly and are looking for further strategic partners in Sri Lanka to join hands with some interested providers from New Zealand.
Asoka is currently on a short tour to Sri Lanka to conduct interviews. He can be contacted on 0772709319 while in Sri Lanka.
