Responding to ICTA’s
invitation representatives of several Companies pledged their support for
the career guidance fairs which are to be conducted the Anuradhapura,
Badulla, Galle, Hambanthota, Kandy, Kurunegala, Matara and Ratnapura
districts soon. Apart from those who pledged the support by agreeing to
supply presenters, counsellors – in Sinhala, Tamil and English – etc.at
the event itself, invitation was extended to others to offer the support,
if they so desired, later.
Participating at the launching of the Information Technology Business
Process Outsourcing career guidance fairs to be held in, ICTA’s Chief
Operating Officer Deshan Dewapura said: "In the case of well-known careers
like those of doctors, engineers, accountants there are many groups to
advice the children but in the case of careers in the Information
Technology Business Process Outsourcing there is no one to provide the
necessary guidance. So it is up to the Government to do so. ICTA as the
apex body for national ICT policy and direction has the responsibility of
creating this awareness among the villagers as part of its effort to bring
ICT solutions under eSriLanka to make the life the people more
comfortable. We are grateful that many have contributed to this effort the
lion’s share in this contribution being from the Ministry of Educ ation.
Commenting on t official IT- BPO Career fairs website Programme
Manager, Private Sector Development at ICTA. Fayaz Hudah, said ‘ The web
site allows personnel in the IT- BPO industry to pledged their support and
all others interested in an IT- BPO career to get more information on the
career fairs and also on IT- BPO careers’".
