Melwa conducts training programme for masons, welders

Melwa, Sri Lanka’s premium steel manufacturer, recently conducted two special training programmes in Ampara and Sainthamaruthu to upgrade the professional skills of masons and welders to help them achieve well-recognised National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) (Level Three) qualifications.

Over 300 masons and welders participated in these workshops sponsored and organised by Melwa. During the workshop, they were trained on using steel wire and Galvanized Iron (GI) pipes and welding sticks recently introduced by Melwa. All the participants were given certificate at the end of the programme. In addition, Melwa had taken steps to provide the necessary training and financial assistance to a selected group of participants to acquire NVQ Level 03 awarded by the Vocational Training Authority (VTA).

All the masons and welders who participated in the workshops were offered a set of tools by Melwa. Melwa is implementing this series of programmes islandwide, with the aim of providing the workers engaged in the construction industry with an opportunity to acquire professional training and nationally and internationally recognised qualification. In addition to experience, having achieved a recognised professional qualification such as an NVQ will be of great use for them in seeking employment opportunities both locally and internationally.
