The Pathway for International recognition at HRMI
View(s):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 daughter 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 an internship training no sooner a student finishes the Level 1 Certificate course and thereafter placing in a job. Mr Upali Idampitiya 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, ‘there are many places which offers certificates but not jobs. 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’.
Students are often successful in securing employment if they work hard during the internship. Chaturangi Perera who recently finished the Diploma said, ‘I was lucky to be sent 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 intern, give your best and don’t think it’s a short term training, be positive and work hard, then you will do well’.
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 and the international recognition. All our courses are linked to UK Edexcel programmes’. He further stated that every lecturer has been hand-picked and invited to be on the faculty. ‘All our lecturers hold very high positions in the private sector and posses post-graduate qualifications from some of the best universities in the region.
They are a great source of inspiration to the young students’. HRMI offers many courses in Human Resource Management, Business Management and Manufacturing Management with a guarantee of Internship Training and Employment for all students under the age of 24. The course contents and details of the HRMI faculty is available at the website: www.hrmi.lk.
