Sysco LABS Academy Codes Tech Career Possibilities for the Next Generation

Sysco LABS recently launched ‘Sysco LABS Academy’, a learning and mentoring initiative that immerses school students in the possibilities and realities of the tech industry and modern workplace dynamics.

Designed for Ordinary Level (O/L) and Advanced Level (A/L) students, the pilot, two-day program was held at S. Thomas' College, Bandarawela where a team of Sysco LABS experts delivered interactive workshops, leadership sessions and provided hands-on exposure to the tech-industry to inspire students to consider a career in technology.


The pilot program focused on building confidence, future readiness and career clarity, introducing students to the kind of thinking, collaboration and problem-solving that drive the modern workplace.


Sessions covered a wide spectrum, from leadership and cybersecurity to engineering fundamentals, tech operations and how to navigate life after school.


Commenting on the launch, Rehan Anthonis – Senior Director, People Operations at Sysco LABS said:


"At Sysco LABS, we believe in nurturing the next generation of technologists and industry leaders.


The launch of Sysco LABS Academy is part of our long-term commitment to building a robust, future-ready talent pipeline that will bolster the country’s IT/BPM industry.


Through this initiative, we hope to inspire students and show them how they too can play a meaningful role in shaping industries, solving real-world problems and contributing to Sri Lanka's innovation ecosystem."


Through the Sysco LABS Academy initiative, Sysco LABS is investing in educational initiatives that prepare students for future careers by providing practical skills, mentorship and industry exposure to young talent in schools and universities.
