The Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) continued its legacy of excellence in the field of Human Resource Management (HRM) by hosting its annual graduation ceremony on October 26, at BMICH.
Under the theme ‘Elevating Excellence, Celebrating HRM Professionals’, the event commemorated the achievements of 699 graduates who completed various HRM programmes. These programmes included BSc and MSc degrees in Human Resource Management and Development from the University of Salford, Manchester, UK, as well as CIPM’s own Chartered Qualification in Human Resource Management (CQHRM), Professional Qualification in Human Resource Management (PQHRM), Diploma in Training and Human Resource Development (DTHRD), Diploma in Industrial Relations and Employment Law (DIREL) and Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH).
The graduation ceremony was attended by Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Commercial Bank of Ceylon Sanath Manatunge, who was the Chief Guest for the event. His address inspired the graduates to continue striving for excellence in their HRM careers. CIPM President Ken Wijayakumar addressed the gathering, offering insights and his vision for the future of HR: “The Chartered qualification in HRM (CQHRM) introduced in 2020 received accreditation from the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development in the UK in 2021. “Remember, obtaining a qualification is just the beginning; to excel as an HR professional or Manager, it is crucial to continually enhance your knowledge, skills and attitudes to meet the dynamic demands of the industry”, he added.
CIPM Sri Lanka CEO U.A.C. Obeyesekere, expressing gratitude to all the attendees, sponsors and individuals involved in organising the event said, “All these graduates will be stepping into a new phase in their lives as they embark on furthering their professional careers in Human Resource Management.”
“I hope that every student who graduates with CIPM will experience an excellent new beginning in their professional career,” he said.
The CIPM’s annual graduation ceremony is a testament to the organisation’s commitment to promoting the highest HRM education and development standards.
