About Skill Development Project
The Skill Development Project at CSR Sri Lanka empowers rural youth, school leavers, and marginalized women through certified vocational training, practical entrepreneurship mentorship, and community leadership academies. We bridge the gap between rural talent and market employment opportunities.
Our structured training courses cover electrical mechanics, apparel manufacturing, IT literacy, organic farming, and small business management. By fostering sustainable economic self-reliance, we build confident grassroots leaders capable of transforming local community livelihoods.
