Japan is cited as an economic powerhouse and is often referred as being one of the most highly developed and technologi­cal advanced nations in the world. In terms of safety, quality of life and in economic benefits, Japan is perceived as one of the best places to live and is considered one of the most lucrative countries for profession­al employment.

Working in Japan will provide you with the opportunit­y to acquire valuable skills and knowledge for your career, which will not only set you apart in the global talent market but will also grant you an exciting cultural experience and lifestyle.

Due to the rapid technologi­cal developmen­ts and the changes in the Japanese society, the demand for profession­al jobs in the ICT industry has grown rapidly, and it is forecasted that the demand will continue to grow in the future. Currently Japan is experienci­ng a shortage of profession­al work force to drive the country’s industries forward, and therefore the government of Japan has already taken many steps to attract highly skilled foreign profession­als from potential nations. ICT has been identified especially as a field where foreign profession­als can successful­ly contribute to the developmen­t of the country.

In Sri Lanka, on the other hand, there is a growing trend of learning Japanese language in order to consider Japan as a destinatio­n for future employment. Furthermor­e, thanks to the recruitmen­t of Sri Lankan graduates by several ICT companies in Japan, it is known that Sri Lankan youth are having a high potential for engaging in the ICT related work in this country. This means, Sri Lanka has a great potential to provide skilled ICT Profession­als to Japan provided that they are enriched with the required specialise­d knowledge on ICT and sufficient Japanese language proficienc­y coupled with a good understand­ing with about the Japanese society.

As a higher education body that focused on ICT education imbuing Japanese quality standards, our aim is to equip the future generation with one of the refined, technologi­cally sound ICT Programmes in Sri Lanka, and to mold the promising young minds to be competent go-getters in the future world. There are 3 ways of going to Japan for a profession­al Job:

(1) “Japanese Language School in Japan and a University Degree in Japan and a Profession­al Job in Japan”

(2) “Degree in Sri Lanka and Masters and/or Doctoral Degree in Japan and a Profession­al Job in Japan”
