With immense pleasure, we announce the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Orel IT and the Department of Industrial Management on the 13th of July 2023 at the Vice Chancellor’s office in University of Kelaniya. The event was attended by esteemed individuals including Senior Professor Nilanthi de Silva - the Vice Chancellor of University of Kelaniya, Mr. Gayan David - Chief Business Officer of Orel IT, and Professor Janaka Wijayanayake - Head of the Department of Industrial Management, along with representatives from both Orel IT and DIM.

The objective of this MoU is to select undergraduates from the Department of Industrial Management, Faculty of Science, who are currently in their third and fourth years of the UGC approved BSc (Hons) Management and Information Technology and BSc (Hons) Information Technology degree programs, through a competitive selection process, and provide them with a unique opportunity to participate in the Orel IT Scholarship Program as trainees, for a predetermined period. The program seeks to provide employment opportunities to fresh undergraduates and foster the development of relevant skills within the undergraduate community of the DIM.

In summary, the collaboration intends to bridge the gap between academia and industry, offering practical exposure and real-world experience to undergraduates.
