We often talk about the incredible talent and potential within our tech sector, but it’s also important to acknowledge the challenges we face. At 𝐈𝐓𝐉𝐨𝐛𝐬.𝐥𝐤, we’ve been listening to the community, and two key issues consistently stand out.
First, the 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐠𝐚𝐩 between what is taught in academic institutions and what is needed in the rapidly evolving tech landscape. As a result, companies often struggle to find candidates with the specific, cutting-edge skills required for modern projects.
Second, the challenge of 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭. The demand for skilled professionals is global, and many of our brightest minds are exploring opportunities abroad. This “𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧” can hinder the growth of local companies and the industry as a whole.
At 𝐈𝐓𝐉𝐨𝐛𝐬.𝐥𝐤, our mission is to simplify tech hiring by connecting Sri Lankan talent with the best opportunities right here at home. We believe that by creating a stronger, more accessible job market, we can help build a resilient and vibrant tech ecosystem for everyone.
