Trainocate Partners with FITIS to Revolutionize Tech Education in Sri Lanka
In a groundbreaking move to transform technology education in Sri Lanka, Trainocate Lanka (Private) Limited has forged a strategic partnership with the Federation of Information Technology Industry Sri Lanka (FITIS). This collaboration formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on August 20, 2024, marks a pivotal step in advancing the SriLankanization program-an initiative committed to upskilling 10,000 professionals in cutting-edge technologies, including Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Security, Azure, and the Microsoft 365 Suite.

FITIS, as Trainocate's strategic partner, plays a crucial role in driving the SriLankanization initiative.
