A partnership to strengthen Sri Lanka’s future PR talent pipeline
Recognising the growing demand for skilled communications professionals, the Public Relations Association of Sri Lanka (PRASL), together with the Sri Lanka Press Institute (SLPI), has launched a comprehensive new ‘Certificate Course in Public Relations & Corporate Communications’ aimed at developing the next generation of PR and communications talent in Sri Lanka.
Designed for school leavers, career explorers and aspiring communicators, the programme offers an introduction to the fast-evolving world of public relations, corporate communications, digital communications, stakeholder engagement and crisis management.
Moving beyond a traditional academic approach, the course has been developed around practical industry exposure, real-world case studies and hands-on learning led by experienced practitioners actively working within the communications industry.
A key highlight of the programme is its industry-led faculty model, bringing together 16 professionals from Sri Lanka’s corporate and agency sectors to deliver specialised sessions across the 12-week course.
Conducted in English in line with industry expectations, the programme will commence on 23rd June 2026 at the Sri Lanka Press Institute in Colombo 5, with twice-weekly evening sessions.
The initiative reflects the shared commitment of PRASL and SLPI to strengthen the future talent pipeline for Sri Lanka’s growing communications industry.
