Skills Passport

Skills Passport – A Gateway to Skills Recognition

The Skills Passport is an initiative of the Tertiary and Vocational Educational Commission (TVEC) of the Ministry of Skills Development, Employment and Labour Relations, together with The Employers’ Federation of Ceylon (EFC) and the International Labour Organization (ILO). A returnee migrant worker can now assert his or her expertise and experience to gain visibility of potential employers in Sri Lanka by presenting a proof that is embedded with skills and qualifications of a worker, acquired informally, along with references. The passport allows both the employer and skilled workers of Sri Lanka to identify their experience under the national skills assessment systems, explore job opportunities with an adequate wage, decent work conditions and further training for re-skilling and up-skilling.
