The Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau reports that Japan has agreed to open up additional employment opportunities for Sri Lankans beyond the existing fields. This development follows recent discussions between Hisayoshi Kimura and Director Masanoby Komiya of IM Japan, and Jeff Gunawardena, Acting Chairman of the Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau, along with General Manager D.P. Senanayake.
Currently, IM Japan offers job placements in construction, nursing services, manufacturing, automotive technology, and packaging. The new agreement will also introduce opportunities in agriculture, accommodation services, and building cleaning.
Additionally, there are plans to establish a training pool in Sri Lanka for youth to receive training in these new fields. Under the IM Japan program, approximately 500 Sri Lankans have already received technical on-the-job training in Japan, and another 100 trainees are currently undergoing pre-emigration training.
