Objective
Create the enabling environment to ensure a thriving ITeS industry in Sri Lanka.
Description
For the ITeS industry to grow, some of the key enablers identified are infrastructure, human resources and cost of utilities. This project will seek to work in conjunction with the rest of government to address the broader issues relating to infrastructure and cost of utilities. However, initial concentration of activities will be to enlarge and ensure a quality workforce to service this growing industry. In this respect, a concerted awareness campaign has been launched to educate school leavers, parents, and teachers on the careers available within the ITeS industry.
In parallel to this project, an ITeS training project will be facilitated by ICTA. This project falls under Programme 4 of ICTA – ICT Human Resources Capacity Building.
