NAITA Chairman Amal Senalankadikara told The Island Financial Review that on the concept of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the NAITA took action to set up the state-of-the-art information technology and foreign languages centre. The centre had formulated a plan to upgrade and expand the teaching of English Language and training students both employed and unemployed young men and women on information technology which would be extremely useful to the development of the country.
He pointed out that at present the existing opportunities in following training courses on information technology and English Language were found to be inadequate to meet the growing demand of the job market. A sound knowledge of the English Language was a prerequisite in securing better employment opportunities in the private sector.
Senalankadikara added that the principal aim of the NAITA would be to provide better training on information technology to young men and women in the rural areas while introducing courses on English Language. The unemployed young men and women in rural areas would be able to secure overseas employment opportunities after completion of the training programmes.
Referring to the training courses, SEnalakadikara explained that the Information Technology and English Language Training Centre had signed MoU with Colombo university to facilitate the students to follow degree programmes after completing the relevant training at NAITA. The degree programme would consist of three phases. Students who complete courses in one year would get a Diploma, for the second year Higher Diploma and third year a degree.
