In current times it has become evident that the gap between employer expectations and employee readiness has increased significantly. The lack of skilled workforce for corporates surfaced as a problematic issue for several years. As a result, the human resource available in the country is not fully exploited. This has a negative impact on both employers and employees.
The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) plans to intervene and bridge the gap, by identifying potential courses to suite the job market demands, developing suitable curricula and conducting high impact courses. To execute this exercise the CCC embarks on ‘Chamber Academy’, an institute that provides ‘Work Based Training Programs’. It is expected that Chamber member companies and other private sector organisations can benefit through this initiative by nominating their employees for training programs to uplift the skill sets, while school leavers and job seekers too can enroll for these programs for better career prospects.
