After 19 years in Sri Lanka’s private banking sector, Tharanga chose ABE to complement her professional experience and strengthen her skills. She says her achievement proves that learning has no age limit and dedication can bring global recognition. Here’s her full story:
''After 19 years in Sri Lanka's private banking sector, I decided to pursue an ABE qualification to complement my professional experience with a globally recognised academic framework.
Choosing ABE was one of the best decisions of my career. The programme provided practical, industry-relevant knowledge that I could immediately apply in my professional role. It broadened my strategic thinking and strengthened my leadership and project management skills.
Balancing a demanding banking career with academic studies was challenging, but the support I received from the management and lecturers at Braintree International made the journey both manageable and rewarding. Their guidance, encouragement, and commitment to student success played a vital role in my achievement.
The highlight of my journey was receiving the ABE Top Paper Award for Advanced Project Management. Achieving the highest mark worldwide in the assessment cycle was a proud and humbling moment that reinforced my belief that learning has no age limit and that dedication can lead to global recognition.
My message to fellow professionals and students is simple: never stop investing in yourself. Whether you are just starting your career or have years of experience. Continuous learning can unlock new opportunities and help you reach your full potential.
I extend my sincere gratitude to ABE and Braintree International for providing the opportunity, support, and platform that made this achievement possible. I look forward to applying these valuable insights to drive further success in my career and contribute meaningfully to the organisations I serve.''
