The National Skills Passport (NSP) is a novel concept introduced in Sri Lanka by means of a smart card issued to a skilled person having NVQ along with at least one year confirmed related employment experience. The card is connected to a dedicated online portal (www.nsp.gov.lk ) which connects different stakeholders such as employees, employers, qualification body and labour market intermediaries.
The NSP is a tri-partite project between the Employers Federation of Ceylon (EFC), the International Labour Organization (ILO), Colombo Office and the Tertiary and Vocational Education Commission (TVEC) launched under the guidance of the Ministry of Skills Development, Vocational education, Research and Innovation.
