Sri Lanka, with a literacy rate of 89%, one of the
highest in the Asian continent, has the ability to
supply almost all kind of manpower.
Every year, thousands of young men and women graduate
from various universities, technical colleges and
vocational training institutes throughout the country.
Adding to the ranks of local workforce are thousands
of Sri Lankans who, having gained rich experience
overseas, return home after completing their assignments.
They are re-employable to the great advantage of prospective
employers. Thus Sri Lanka is a treasure trove of highly
efficient workforce.
Sri Lankans are by nature intelligent, industrious,
hard-working, sincere and most importantly fast learners.
Living in a multi-ethnic and multi-religious environment
makes it easy for them to adapt to any overseas work
environment where multi-national workforce is most
prevalent.
These are the values that make the ever growing number
of overseas employers to direct their attention to
Sri Lanka to fulfill their manpower requirements,
so much so that migrant workers have become one of
the highest foreign exchange earners for Sri Lanka.
