ANC Education successfully held it’s first-ever hybrid Career Fair on 8th April 2021 at ANC Premises. It marked the first time students and corporates could interact virtually via online platform and in-person at the ANC Career Fair.

We are extremely pleased with the amount of student-employer interactions during the ANC Career Fair; 200 students attended a total of 3000+ employer sessions, this equates to each student participating in around 12 to 15 individual or group sessions with employers at the career fair.
For 3rd year students like Dulmin Nanayakkara, International Business major, from Northwood University Degree Completion Programme, it was his first time attending a career fair, meeting corporates and facing real life interviews with some of the best companies in Sri Lanka –
“It was a great exposure for me to meet and speak with HR recruiters such as Nestle and Brandix and learn what they look for in the right candidates. This knowledge and experience I gained today at ANC Career Fair will help me in the future to gear myself for my career”.
Chanuka Bandara completed her SQA Advanced Diploma Programme in Business Management at ANC Branch Campus Kandy and is looking to start her internship programme. She has been interviewed by Amana Bank, Kayjay, Brandix and several other corporates.

Alumni of ANC, Vishnu Shaagar is a first semester student at University of West London MBA programme.
“I was interviewed by JKH, Unilever and Nestle and these are the type of companies that I would like to pursue my career in Sales, Marketing and Business fields.
