Ambuja appointed 'Resource Partner' to Vocational Training Authority Ceylon Ambuja Cements (Pvt) Ltd., a subsidiary of the Indian cement giant Gujarat Ambuja, has been designated a "Resource Partner" to the Vocational Training Authority (VTA) of the Ministry of Tertiary Education and Training, enabling the latter to offer Ambuja's technical expertise to its students in many parts of Sri Lanka. The two organisations entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) last week, formalising a public-private sector partnership under which Ambuja Cements - the only cement company in Sri Lanka with its own Technical Services Department - will be responsible for a training module in the VTA's popular courses on construction and masonry. Ceylon Ambuja Cements Director/CEO M.C. Ramakrishna said: "Ambuja is committed to promote professionalism at mason's level in the construction industry in order to maintain the highest standards in this vital field. "We also believe strongly in enriching the community with which we are closely involved," he said. Vocational Training Authority Chairman Akram Rajabdeen said: the VTA is playing a crucial role in preparing the youth of this country for gainful employment. "This also benefits the private sector. This voluntary contribution by Ambuja of its expertise and time is an example for other private sector organisations," he said. |
