She will also receive the prestigious CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel Development) UK student membership when she enters the Chartered final stage. The scholarship was awarded under CIPM’s CSR category upon learning of Nimesha’s dream to advance in human resource management.

“We are delighted to assist this bright young student in fulfilling her dreams of advancing herself in the field of human resource management with this full scholarship to follow CIPM’s flagship professional qualification.
