Global digital technology solutions company Fortude is collaborating with universities in Colombo, Pune and London, with a focus on enhancing talent and empowering undergraduates with industry insights.
Fortude signed MoUs with the University of Kelaniya and Curtin Colombo, recently to develop undergraduates’ technical and soft skills, and get them industry-ready.

Managing Director of Fortude, Arjuna Sirinanda said, “We’re committed to building the next generation of tech talent. That’s why we’re working hand-in-hand with universities in Sri Lanka, India, Australia and the UK. By providing students with hands-on experience and industry insights, we’re not just honing their skills, we are creating a skilled workforce that is well-equipped to move from education into the tech industry seamlessly.”
Fortude’s team based in the UK has commenced activities with the University of West London and recently conducted an informative session at its London campus, creating awareness about the diverse career opportunities in ERP and Fortude’s role and impact within the global digital solutions space.
Outreach in India included visits to the Indira Institute of Commerce and Science and the Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, both based in Pune. Fortude representatives enlightened the undergraduates about the world of ERP and the life of a Fortude consultant.
To ensure a steady stream of young talent into the organisation, Fortude has launched its annual Graduate Trainee program, which is currently open for applications from graduates looking to fast-track their careers in IT.
In a first for Fortude, it’s gearing to launch a female-only specialised internship program in August, to create a growth mindset in young female undergraduates looking to pursue careers in IT, by enabling them with the tools and attitude to succeed and aspire to leadership.
