Date:

The Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau (SLFEB) has set an ambitious target of facilitating 340,000 overseas job opportunities for Sri Lankans in 2025.

Speaking at an awareness program for newly licensed foreign employment agents held at the Bureau of Foreign Employment, SLFEB Chairman Kosala Wickramasinghe noted that 311,000 individuals secured foreign employment in 2024, and the bureau aims to increase this figure by 12% this year.

Highlighting the need for a regulated process, Wickramasinghe stressed the importance of ensuring that overseas employment placements are carried out transparently and ethically. He also addressed concerns regarding reports of fraudulent activities involving certain licensed agencies and assured that strict legal measures would be taken against those found guilty, regardless of their influence or status.

The SLFEB continues to play a vital role in expanding international employment opportunities while prioritizing the welfare and rights of Sri Lankan workers abroad.
