Japanese tech corporates seek to recruit Sri Lankan IT students

Representatives from a reputed Japanese IT corporate recently visited South Asia’s only Japanese IT University based in Sri Lanka, Lanka Nippon BizTech Institute (LNBTI) with the objective of exploring global career opportunities for Sri Lankan graduates.

The visit underscores LNBTI’s growing reputation as a hub for producing globally employable IT professionals equipped with both technical expertise and Japanese language proficiency right in Sri Lanka.

During their visit, the delegation held comprehensive discussions with the institute’s leadership, including Vice Chancellor Prof. Ananda Kumara, Directors Saman Kumara and Ravindra Perera, Head of IT Department Bashini Wijewickrama, and Japanese Language Senior Lecturer and Coordinator of Career Development Hub Dr. Mariyalu Warnakulasooriya.

A key highlight of the occasion was the opportunity for LNBTI students to interact directly with the visiting executives. These executives shared valuable insights into the skills, work culture, and expectations of Japan’s technology landscape, helping students better prepare for potential future tech related careers in Japan.

The exclusivity of the occasion provided the students with invaluable firsthand insights on Japan for selected students. These interactions will serve as both learning and evaluation platforms, in which all parties mutually benefit upon the relationship built with time.

This initiative builds upon LNBTI’s proven track record of facilitating international internships. In two previous programs, students who secured fully funded internships in Japan with leading global technology companies returned from the experience with enhanced knowledge and skills that immediately improved their employability and global exposure.

LNBTI Vice Chancellor Prof. Ananda Kumara said: “This collaboration further strengthens our mission of producing IT graduates who are not only technically skilled but also culturally prepared for international careers. Japan’s trust in our students is a testament to the quality of education and training we provide at LNBTI.”
