Thishani Dissanayake, Vice President – Marketing stated that “ We kicked off the 3rd phase of the Programme with the participation of over 200 existing and potential business owners. We see much greater demand for the programme since its launch and participants are selected carefully based on the criteria given. We were delighted to see an increase in participants from across the country including several from the North of the country showcasing the commitment and effort of business owners to upskills themselves to grow and develop their businesses in a competitive business landscape. In addition the new participants had the opportunity to hear success stories of those who completed the certificate in the previous two batches and how they have conquered new opportunities and created more demand for their products and aligned their businesses for greater success. Union Bank takes pride in being a partner in this programme and we thank the University of Moratuwa and the NIA for their continued efforts in making this programme a huge success. This is a free opportunity for Business Owners to upskill themselves and to us at Union Bank it’s an opportunity to give back to the communities we do business in as well.”
