In a bid to bridge the gap between academia and industry, Walkers Tours has forged a strategic partnership with Sabaragamuwa University, marking a significant step forward in the advancement of tourism education and practical training.

The collaboration aims to align the university’s curriculum with industry standards, ensuring that students are equipped with the knowledge and skills required to thrive in the dynamic field of tourism and hospitality.

This immersive experience provided invaluable insights into the operational dynamics and challenges faced by professionals in the field.

One of the key highlights of the partnership is the provision of internship opportunities for selected students. Through a rigorous interview process, promising candidates will have the chance to embark on hands-on learning experiences alongside industry experts. These internships offer a unique opportunity for students to apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings, gain real-world exposure, and develop essential skills essential for their future careers.

By nurturing a strong collaboration between academia and industry, Walkers Tours and Sabaragamuwa University are not only enhancing the educational experience for students but also contributing to the growth and sustainability of the tourism sector.
