EDEX Mid-Year Expo 2025, Unlocking opportunities for tomorrow’s leaders
View(s):EDEX Mid-Year Expo 2025, Sri Lanka’s premier education and career fair, will return on September 13th–14th to the BMICH, Colombo.
This highly anticipated event will open doors for students, job seekers, and professionals to explore education pathways and career opportunities both locally and internationally.
This year’s expo will consist of around 50 leading educational institutions, 10 corporates, and direct overseas exhibitors from Dubai and Indonesia, giving attendees access to higher education and employment opportunities in Sri Lanka and abroad. The expo fulfils its ongoing mission of inspiring and empowering Sri Lankan youth to become globally competitive.
“Our focus has always been to provide the youth with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities they require to achieve success in an ever-changing world. EDEX Mid-Year Expo is a bridge to global competitiveness; it’s not just a platform for education and careers,” said EDEX Chairman Mahinda Galagedara.
Going beyond education, EDEX 365, the CSR initiative, will present a special event in Kekirawa on September 5, under the theme “Better Health for Better Education”. Understanding that health is an essential element of learning, EDEX will carry out a hearing impairment screening project for 1,000 Grade 1 students over 28 schools in the Kekirawa Education Zone.
Ten qualified doctors will join the EDEX team to do screenings as part of the project, which has been organised in partnership with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health, Ratmalana Audiology Centre, and K20 Society. To guarantee that no child is left behind in school because of hearing impairments, the Rathmalana Audiology Centre will use modern digital mechanisms to further evaluate identified cases and provide hearing aid support to underprivileged children.
“This initiative demonstrates our deep commitment to empowering the youth by addressing important but frequently disregarded barriers to education. We are making a long-lasting difference where it is most needed by investing EDEX’s resources in this cause,” said EDEX Mid Year Expo 2025 Project Chairman, Chathushika Nissanka.
This year’s expo will also feature a strong focus on career readiness. The event will introduce practical career development tools such as the Career Key psychometric test, provided through EDEX Careers, allowing the youth to identify career pathways that align with their strengths and aspirations.
Additionally, visitors will have the opportunity to network with direct international participants and explore study options in Dubai, Indonesia, and other countries, as well as obtain insightful information about future employment and skill trends from leading corporates. With on-the-spot guidance and pathways to both higher education and careers, the event aims to equip the Sri Lankan youth with the tools they require to thrive in a competitive global environment.
For the second time, EDEX has partnered with the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) for the Mid-Year Expo 2025. ISIC, which is approved by UNESCO, is the world’s only international student identity card that can be used to prove your student status and get access to over 150,000 offers in more than 98 countries. Some of the offers in Sri Lanka include 10% off at Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Dinemore, Baskin-Robbins, and many more. Visitors are encouraged to visit their stalls to get to know more about the International Student Identity Card.
The event is endorsed by the Prime Minister’s Office, the Ministry of Education, Higher Education & Vocational Education, the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, the Ministry of Labour, and the Ministry of Environment, acknowledging its national significance. Strategic partners include the Employers Federation of Ceylon, the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, and the Ceylon Careers Guidance Association, further enhancing the impact and reach of the initiative.
The expo is powered by prestigious partners, including APIIT and Mogo Media Academy as Platinum Sponsors and CINEC Campus as the Gold Sponsor. Allianz Insurance Lanka Ltd will serve as the Insurance Partner, American Water as the Official Hydration Partner, and PR Wire as the PR Partner.
“Your Writer by Nazran Baba” will also be featured at the event, adding even more value. Dedicated to helping professionals and students land their dream jobs, our top-rated professional writing service specialises in crafting LinkedIn profiles, cover letters, and resumes that showcase abilities, accomplishments, and potential. Their goal is to enable individuals to thrive in their careers and speak with confidence.
The expo will be open to the public from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on both days in Colombo. With unrivalled access to education, skills, and career guidance, EDEX Mid-Year Expo 2025 promises to empower Sri Lanka’s youth to be globally competitive.
