The Role of Educators in Career Development

Schools play a pivotal role in the career development of students. We influence their values, attitudes and career choices. We work collaboratively with teachers, community members and employers to prepare them for the multiple roles that they will have throughout their lives through this programme.

We all want our students to become engaged and productive citizens capable of replicating our democracy. All these purposes include the need to assist students with decision-making and other skills necessary to plan and select from the array of options available to them.

Maximize Economic Benefit of Foreign Employment. Introduction.

International migration is a major driver of social and economic change in our country. Foreign Employment provided a remittance income having significant economic and social consequences. Every year over 250,000 Sri Lankans leave the country for foreign employment. This outflow of migrants has increased steadily over time, increased 20 times from 1986 to 2012. The numbers have dropped however by 12.5 per cent in 2015. But, little is known about those who return to the country after working abroad, although returnees can be greater benefit to the economy than migrants. Returnee migrants bring back new skills, knowledge and capital which can provide more value addition and create new employment opportunities among others, if properly directed and integrated into the economy and the society of the home country.

Sharing Insights on Women in the Workforce!

Recently, I had the privilege of participating as a special speaker at a National Dialogue organized by WUSC, where I delved into the barriers, opportunities, and recommendations for women in the workforce and Female Labour Force Participation (FLFP) in Sri Lanka.

Reflecting on the discussions, I couldn't help but feel proud of the strides that women have made in Sri Lanka's workforce. Did you know that women represent 52% of the population and account for 56% of the registered voters in Sri Lanka? This showcases the significant role that women play in shaping our society and economy.
