Nenasala opens in Abu Dhabi
The first ever overseas Nenasala was launched in Abu Dhabi for the
benefit of Sri Lankans in the United Arab Emirates recently.
The Nenasala is located at the Sri Lankan embassy in UAE and is
staffed and operated by the people working at the embassy as well as
volunteers. Sri Lankan nationals currently in UAE will have the
opportunity to communicate with their relations in Sri Lanka with
greater ease and minimum cost through this initiative,the Information
and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) said.
Over 300,000 Sri Lankans are currently employed in UAE, of which 45
enjoy white-collar jobs and the rest, middle and lower rung jobs. This
overseas Nenasala will focus on providing free IT and English knowledge
training for expatriates to develop their skills to match with the
changing occupational needs in the world. (IH)
