BOI Job Fair creates opportunities for the youth of Wellawaya

The Board of Investment of Sri Lanka in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour Relations and Productivity Promotion organised a job fair at the Mahinda Rajapaksa Conference Hall, Wellawaya recently. 

This job fair had been organised in parallel with the ‘Deyata Kirula’ National Exhibition, scheduled to be held in February next year in the Monaragala District.

The BOI Job Fair created an ideal opportunity for an unemployed youth in the Wellawaya, Buttala and Monaragala areas, to find suitable employment opportunities. More than 26 leading BOI enterprises seeking to employ staff participated at the job fair and therefore approximately 1,000 job seekers were given the opportunity to meet company representatives and select jobs in diversified fields. This was indeed a new experience for the youth of the area.

District Secretary Monaragala U.K.S. Mihindukulasuriya was the Chief Guest of the opening ceremony of the job fair. BOI Deputy Director General A.M.C. Kulasekera, Divisional Secretary Wellawaya K.H.A.K. Nishantha, Director Hema Perera, Assistant Director, Ministry of Labour Relations and Productivity Promotion K.W. Elapatha and Director BOI W.A. Jayasiri addressed those present at the opening ceremony of the job fair.
