The ESDP is a landmark initiative designed to empower Sri Lankan youth across 25 districts with globally recognized training, digital skills, and career development opportunities. The program aims to bridge the gap between education and employment by providing school leavers and young adults with world-class skill development, ensuring they are ready to meet the evolving demands of the modern workplace.
The initiative focuses on key areas including IT proficiency, English communication, entrepreneurship, and personal development, helping students enhance their employability both locally and internationally. The program combines practical learning with academic knowledge to create a well-rounded learning experience.
“Our goal is to create a generation of confident, skilled, and globally competitive professionals,” said Ranmal Godigamuwa, General Manager of Thakral Global Learning. “Partnering with XpressJobs allows our students to not only gain skills but also access real job opportunities immediately after certification, making the program truly impactful.”
Dr. Oshadie Korale, COO & Co-founder of XpressJobs, added. “It’s inspiring to see TGL extend its programs to rural students. Partnering with such a legacy makes us proud, and we look forward to a collaboration that benefits both organizations and the students”
As part of the partnership, XpressJobs will provide participants access to Internships, trainee positions, IT/internet roles, hardware/network/system jobs, digital marketing, work-from-home opportunities, school leaver positions, and BPO/KPO roles, helping youth gain practical experience while developing key career skills.
