Welcome to Chennai City Programme

 

The Chennai Chapter of Strategic Links India launched in late 2008 and now welcomes individual and organisational members.

Members can avail themselves of all the online services, as detailed in the membership services pages. Chennai was also chosen as the pilot city for the Strategic Links India Skills Development Resource Centre and after a successful trial period, this service is due to be extended to other Chapters.

The Skills Development Resource Centre is designed to assist individuals, who wish to upgrade or enhance their skills or qualifications, by providing information on and listings of a wide range of courses that can be taken both inside and outside the city as well as via distance learning methods. The pilot stage is now beginning to benefit from amendments and additions, suggested by fellow user members, and new listings include a Diploma of Panchakarma in Ayurvedic Medicine, a photography course run by a prestigious city studio, stained glass workshops from beginner to advanced levels by a renowned international artist and additional online MBA options. Log on today to browse the resource listings.

Despite the global economic downturn, Chennai continues to be an exciting and expanding city from the business development perspective. Strategic Links India is delighted to offer assistance to members, who wish their stay in the city to be professionally stimulating and fulfilling.
