This institute was subsequently re-named as the Sri Lanka School of Social Work. In 1965 the School launched a two-year full-time Diploma program in Social Work to prepare professional Social Workers. Besides the Diploma in Social Work program, the school launched pre-service and in-service training programs for the welfare sector personnel in the public and the voluntary sector.
