As a result of this partnership, the ADFIAP Career Credentialing Program (ACCP) will be complemented with an additional globally-recognized postgraduate qualification offered by LIBT in Strategic Management, Accounting & Finance or Human Resource Management depending on candidates’ preferences and aspirations.
Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Sesiri Pathirane, the CEO of LIBT, said: “We are honored to have partnered with IDF which is a globally recognized training and capacity-building body for development bankers.
What makes this partnership fruitful is that both IDF & LIBT share the common goal of producing well-rounded and industry-ready professionals.
Our learners will not only have the right skill set but also the mindset to confidently and competently perform in a chosen field and role; we are optimistic that this partnership will augur well for all parties involved.”
Meanwhile Mr. Enrique I. Florencio, Secretary General of ADFIAP remarked:
“Executive education creates the time and provides an environment to gain new knowledge, self-reflect, and discover actionable ideas to re-energize and revitalize old methods.
This initiative will provide an opportunity for the participant to step back & look at the big-picture, assess leadership skills and identify gaps & areas which require improvement.”
