Japan Sri Lanka College of Technology (JSCoT)

Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has decided to provide technical assistance to Maradana College of Technology in Colombo with the establishment of three model courses, such as Mechatoronics , Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Metal Work. Japan has the advantage to provide these technologies and there is also high demand for these three trades in Sri Lanka.

Project Outputs

1. NVQ level 5&6 model training courses are introduced and conducted effectively in Maradana CoT in the fields of Information and Communication Technology, Mechatronics and Metal Work.
2. DTET establishes a system for the training courses to fulfill industry’s needs.
3. Management capacity of DTET on training delivery is improved.
4. Accumulated know-how in Maradana CoT is shared among the TC/CoT, in the field of preparation of NVQ level 5&6 courses and improved methods on training delivery.

Information & Communication Technology

Recently, ICT is in widespread use in Sri Lanka. There is, however, shortages of skilled technicians who can carry out maintenance for computer network to maintain the rapid spread of ICT.

ICT course will provide the training in software and systems development which is focusing on program development and network construction.

After graduation, graduates should work as ICT technicians, such as a technician of program development, hardware support, maintenance or customer service.
