The Government has taken steps to ensure a higher standard of recognition for jobs in the construction sector.The purpose is to convince the youth to take to jobs in this sector, the Minister of Construction and Engineering Services Rajitha Senaratne said at the inauguration ceremony of the “Walawe Heritage Sisu Nena Pola” Exhibition.
He observed that the Construction Sector Authority Bill will be adopted soon. It has already been directed to the Attorney General’s Department. It would change the entire culture in this sector. “Masonry Technician” will replace the term Mason and “Carpenter” replaced with “Carpentry Technician.” Thereafter the youth will not feel ashamed to join these vocations. All of them will be trained in those vocations.
The Minister noted that their knowledge will be enhanced to access any sector in the overseas job market.
The Exhibition will continue at the Mahaweli Stadium in Anugunukolapelessa until Saturday. Several public and private sector establishments have put up booths to provide enhance knowledge on different sectors. Military equipment seized from the terrorists are on display.
