NEARLY 300 unemployed young men and women in the Jaffna peninsula are to receive employment openings in the garment industry sector immediately after a brief training given to them.
Following an initiative launched by Security Forces Headquarters, Jaffna (SFHQ - J), on the instructions of the Commander of the Army Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya who recently toured Jaffna, 52 Division in Jaffna carried out an initial survey and sought those aspirants before they were called for interviews when the management of Creations (Pvt) Ltd, a leading garment manufacturer and exporter volunteered to offer job opportunities with a monthly salary of not less than Rs. 15,000/= to each.
All those youngsters during the period of training and employment are provided with free meals, accommodation and transport along with separate incentives for production and attendance.
Creations (Pvt) Ltd factory representatives assisted and guided by 52 Division Commander Brigadier Lal Perera and 524 Brigade Commander Lieutenant Colonel Ipsitha Dissanayake visited Jaffna on Wednesday (30) and conducted preliminary interviews for recruitment of those youngsters who will be accommodated in Colombo shortly for employment.
Interviews for those employment opportunities were conducted at Point Pedro Divisional Secretariat (June 28), Ramavil IDP centre (June 29) and at Ariyalai Saraswathi Hall (June 30) respectively.
SFHQ Commander Major General Mahinda Hathurusinghe directed his officers to provide all assistance and facilities to those private sector employers visiting the peninsula.
The SFHQ - J also received the help of Jaffna District Secretariat for selection of those job-seekers before they were directed for the interviews.
