FITIS Signs MoU with Trainocate to build capacity for digital economy

Federation Of Information Technology (Guarantee) Ltd (FITIS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Trainocate Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, recently to enhance the skills of IT students and professionals in newer IT Technologies. The MoU allows FITIS to join the SriLanknization Project initiated by Trainocate to provide industry accepted training and certifications in Data, Security and AI.

FITIS is joined by ESOFT Metro Campus in this project as the leading partner to promote the training and certification assisting the IT Students to obtain these skills at an affordable cost. ESOFT, a leading IT educator in the country, is already a partner of many globally renowned IT Companies and delivers several reputed IT courses. ESOFT is a member of FITIS Education & Training Chapter.

SriLankanization Project is an initiative by Trainocate with the aim of transforming Sri Lanka into a regional hub for newer IT Technologies such as Data Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Security. In the initial phase, this project focusses on enhancing the knowledge and skills of 10,000 Sri Lankans in these fields, to address the growing demand for technology professionals.

FITIS being the apex industry association for ICT Industry Sector, has recognized the value of SriLankanization Project as the industry is now experiencing a lack of skilled human resources in these technologies to support efforts in improving the country’s digital economy.
