Forty students complete SriLankan's Airline Training Programme

PROGRAMME: The first two groups of external students successfully completed SriLankan Airlines Ticketing and Business Foundation Programme recently.

The 8-week programme included classroom training in Katunayake and 10 days of on-the-job training at SriLankan's ticket office at the World Trade Centre, Reservations Department, and Skywards. The programme covered both Basic Fares and Ticketing, and soft skills that would be useful for participants in many types of careers.

"This programme provided a very useful service to youngsters who want to learn appropriate skills to enter the aviation and travel industries, and also obtain a recognised qualification," Training Manager Chinthaka Kulatilleke said.

The award ceremonies were attended by managers and executives of SriLankan's ticket offices, with the Chief Guest being Customer Service Manager (Colombo Ticket Office) Meena Lee, and Head of Human Resources, Sunil Dissanayake, for the first and second ceremonies respectively.
