Why Invest in Education and Vocational Training?
Education is a fundamental human right and a crucial tool in breaking the cycle of poverty. Despite Sri Lanka boasting a literacy rate of approximately 92%, a significant challenge remains: a clear disconnect between general education and employability. Youth unemployment in Sri Lanka is alarmingly high at 20.2%, underlining a pressing need to address the gap between the skills youth acquire and what the job market requires. This skills mismatch is especially critical as the job landscape evolves, demanding more technological and specialized expertise.
How We're Address the Gap
WTW Lanka is dedicated to bridging this educational and vocational gap through targeted initiatives. We are expanding access to quality education that emphasizes essential skills such as literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking, crucial for professional success. Our vocational training programs are carefully tailored to meet the needs of key economic sectors like IT, construction, tourism, and healthcare. By offering certifications recognized by local industries, we empower individuals to thrive in the workforce, thereby contributing to economic stability and growth. This strategic approach not only enhances individual careers but also supports the broader national economy by developing a skilled, competent workforce.
