The Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC) renewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University of Jaffna, to develop the next generation of capital market professionals.
The partnership with the University of Jaffna began in 2009, as part of the SEC’s broader initiative to collaborate with national universities in 2008. This has been instrumental in bridging academia and the capital markets industry. The latest renewal reinforces this collaboration, ensuring undergraduates continue to benefit from a robust platform for academic and professional growth.
The renewed MoU continues to offer a range of benefits to undergraduates, including academic recognitions such as gold medals and cash awards for excellence in capital market-related subjects, opportunities for research grants in the field, and enhanced industry exposure through internships and hands-on learning experiences facilitated by the SEC.
Deputy Director General of the SEC, Tushara Jayaratne represented the Commission, while the University of Jaffna was represented by its Vice Chancellor, Prof. Sivakolundu Srisatkunarajah, Prof. N. Kengatharan, Dean of the Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce and Prof. Lingesiya Kengatharan, Head of Department of Financial Management at the signing ceremony. The SEC continues its mission to expand partnerships with other national universities, emphasising its dedication to creating professional opportunities for students across the country.
