In today’s highly technological world, where many things are evolving, people and organisations need to keep pace. We can see how artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a big part across many industries, which is still under development.
If we look at the ongoing climate crisis, we can see its affecting economies around the world. Starting with droughts, food shortages, flooding, etc. More and more businesses are becoming aware of it and are moving towards sustainability. By 2030 we could see many green jobs created in the market. Apart from that we could see many challenges too regarding work from home (WFH), and some organisations are developing models to make it hybrid, looking at better work performance.
The Ceylon Institute Of English & Leadership (CIOEL) offers skills-based learning courses to enhance knowledge. The ‘Business English Leadership Programme’ offers key skills to communicate in the corporate world and the ‘Leadership & Sustainability Programme’ offers key skills about sustainability, leadership, and the importance of teamwork.
