A milestone in industry–academia collaboration was reached recently when Teejay Lanka PLC extended its partnership with the University of Moratuwa (UoM) for two more years, a period that will encompass the 10th anniversary of the relationship.
The decade-long collaboration between a multinational textile manufacturer and the country’s largest provider of manpower training for the textile and clothing industry, has led to closer integration of curricula with industry needs and the growth of the annual Graduation Fashion Show of the University’s Department of Textile and Clothing Technology into a mega event. Teejay’s designers are all graduates of Fashion Design from the University of Moratuwa.
