The event agenda will emphasize practical exposure and professional development. Key highlights will include expert-led panel discussions featuring prominent professionals such as the Co-Founder of Organic, the Franchise Owner of Drink Divide, Marketing Consultant, Comedian and Digital Creator Amantha Perera, Director of JAT Holdings PLC Anika Williamson, and Directress of Remarko Hiruni C Withanage. These sessions will provide delegates with first-hand insights into industry expectations, career pathways, and emerging trends.
In addition, Insight ’25 will feature a dedicated Networking Space designed to facilitate hands-on interaction between delegates and employers. Activities will include walk-in interviews, mock interviews, one-to-one CV reviews, problem-solving challenges, and direct employer engagement opportunities. The event will also host specialized competitions such as the Case Study Final Competition and a CV Writing Competition, aimed at testing analytical thinking, creativity, and professional readiness.
Participants at Insight ’25 will include a diverse audience comprising undergraduates, fresh graduates, school leavers, and individuals seeking targeted career guidance. Attendees will have the opportunity to build relationships with potential employers, access career consultations and corporate stalls, and explore innovative industry practices that will support informed career decision-making.
Sharing her views, an official from AIESEC in Colombo Central stated, “Insight ’25 will continue a nine-year legacy of supporting young people as they explore career opportunities and prepare for the professional world. The event will enable participants to learn from industry leaders, connect with potential employers, and engage with peers from across the country.
