XpressJobs, the leading job portal in Sri Lanka, is proud to announce its strategic partnership with Ideal Motors, a fully owned subsidiary of the Ideal Group, for an innovative Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. This joint initiative aims to uplift underprivileged students residing in remote areas outside Colombo by introducing Free National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Level 4 courses.

The NVQ Level 4 courses offered as part of the program equip participants with theoretical and practical course, with comprehensive knowledge, skills, and competencies in various areas. Ideal motors will facilitate on-the-job training for the apprentices in its island-wide workshops.

Successful apprentices will receive internationally recognized NVQ Level 4 certificates in Auto painting (1 year) or automobile mechanic (2 years) depending on the filed they chose. Furthermore, trainees will receive a monthly allowance, along with accommodation, uniforms, safety tools, and meals provided free of charge. This certification will open doors to employment opportunities within the Ideal Group’s extensive network of branches across the island.

“We are thrilled to partner with Ideal Motors for this transformative CSR program aimed at empowering eager students in remote areas of Sri Lanka. At XpressJobs, we firmly believe that every individual deserves equal opportunities, and this partnership allows us to make a real difference in the lives of deserving youth and foster inclusivity by ensuring equal opportunities for girls in the automobile field. Together with Ideal Motors, we are committed to offering an education path building a brighter future for Sri Lanka by empowering these talented individuals,” XpressJobs Dr. Oshadie Korale said.

XpressJobs, renowned for its pioneering CV-less system, will utilize its platform to source candidates from distant areas. Through this system, job seekers can effortlessly apply for opportunities by simply filling out a form over the phone, eliminating the requirement for a traditional CV. XpressJobs reached youth in suburbs through native languages from social media platforms such as Facebook, TikTok ect., using video job advert concepts.

“We are delighted to join forces with XpressJobs for this CSR program. By leveraging XpressJobs’ platform, we can now connect with and access individuals who are genuinely interested in the automobile field, and otherwise would have not gone into skilled labor, due to not having a path to higher education. We are happy to say students from previous batches have even been able to secure foreign employment as well. Together with XpressJobs, we are dedicated to making a lasting impact on the lives of students ” Ideal Motors Mr. Chaminda Wanigarthne, Director Automotive highlighted.

The CSR program, primarily focused on assisting youth in remote communities, In line with this mission, XpressJobs has developed an extensive marketing plan to reach the masses and engage young individuals. Special attention is also being given to ensuring equal opportunities for girls, particularly in the automotive field, where gender representation is traditionally imbalanced
