Stax, the global management consultancy with a strong presence in Sri Lanka, announced the launch of Stax Academy, the firm’s learning platform for upskilling future business leaders to take on the challenges of the global economy. 


Stax Academy places its focus on recent graduates from local and foreign educational institutions as well as foreign university hopefuls awaiting entrance to their courses. The programme is launched with the vision of designing an on-demand, contemporary learning platform dedicated to upskilling and preparing them for their dream jobs. 


The specialised certification programme will commence in July in partnership with Royal Institute of Colombo, Edith Cowan University – Sri Lanka Campus and National School of Business Management (NSBM). The initial batch of 30+ students will consist of latest graduates from the partner institutions undertaking the 16-week certification programme. 


The certification programme will offer a combination of micro-learnings across specific functional and professional skill pillars needed to succeed both within Stax and the domain of management consulting as well as in general industries. 


The launch of Stax Academy follows the strategic investment received by Stax from Blue Point Capital Partners in November, which has enabled the rapid growth in headcount and acceleration of geographic expansion for the data-driven management consultancy.
