The Aspirations Education International Exhibition is one of the largest international education exhibitions in the country. There are other exhibitions which are country specific and exhibitions where foreign universities are represented along with other local education providers. This is unique as only foreign universities and institutes are present and students can meet universities from multiple countries and continents on one stage".

Reiterating further about the changing markets Mr. Abeysekera stated, "Students who aspire to study abroad should be given proper guidance at the right time. They should be able to get accurate and authentic information with regard to the options available. Such guidance will help students with lower costs, increased chances of university acceptance, cultural adaptability and even increased chances of financial assistance. Proper counselling in the areas of both education and careers help students pick the university that best meets their needs maximizing the chances of financial assistance and career opportunities. Comprehensive guidance will not mislead students at the crucial juncture in their lives, which can break or make their future; this is our mantra".

The centre will also launch the Aspirations Postgraduate Opportunity Hub this year creating a platform for postgraduate students to interact with academics in selecting the course of study.
