Sri Lankan National telecentre.org Academy

The Sri Lankan National telecentre.org Academy was launched at a public function in Colombo attended by over 500 nenasala operators and the major stakeholders of the Sri Lankan telecentre movement.

The Academy works to enhance entrepreneurship and high quality service standards among telecentre operators in Sri Lanka in order to create livelihood opportunities for communities served by more than 500 telecentres there. At present, the Academy is involved in scanning and gathering all telecentre-related training material that exists in Sri Lanka to support the development of a basic curriculum in telecentre management.

The program is run by the Information and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka with support from various academic and private sector partners. The University of Colombo?s School of Computing leads the implementation of the program.
