About Us
Often referred to as The Pearl of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka holds a rich history of producing a skilled, adaptable, and globally sought-after workforce. Marco Polo himself described it as “the finest island in the world.”
With a current population exceeding 20 million, Sri Lanka continues to offer one of the most literate labor forces in Asia. According to the latest national statistics, literacy rates have remained above 94%, positioning Sri Lanka as a hub of capable and trainable human resources.
Sri Lankan recruitment for Global Markets
Sri Lanka’s workforce is recognized internationally for its adaptability, resilience, and professionalism. Individuals are known to acclimate quickly to new environments, especially in Middle Eastern markets where Sri Lankan professionals have played a vital role in construction, healthcare, hospitality, domestic services, and technical industries.
With an extensive network of vocational training institutions, trade centers, and technical colleges, the country continues to produce highly competent workers ready for international deployment.
The contribution of Sri Lankan professionals, particularly in Gulf nations like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar, has not only supported the economic growth of those countries but has also enriched the reputation of Sri Lankan manpower globally.
