What is NSP Skills Passport?

The Skills Passport is a comprehensive portfolio of skills and qualifications of a worker, acquired informally, along with references. This enables both employers and workers of Sri Lanka to compare the skills with various skills assessment frameworks. It is essentially a “gateway” to finding a job and accessing further training for re-skilling and up-skilling. This system of documentation will ensure the skills, expertise and experience of a worker is recorded in a methodical manner, both within and across sectors.
