The Hon. Lieutenant Commander (Rtd.) Prageeth Madhuranga
Hon. Lieutenant Commander (Rtd.) Prageeth Madhuranga noted that many directly recruited military personnel and war veterans retire around ages 40 to 42 with trade skills acquired during service. He asked whether the Ministry would create pathways to upgrade and certify those skills and guide retirees into employment, particularly for those who do not wish to become entrepreneurs.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, personnel recruited under direct military recruitment and serving war heroes retire at relatively young ages—around 40 to 42 years—often with valuable trade skills gained through service. Not all wish to become entrepreneurs upon retirement. Will the Ministry consider pathways to enhance and certify their skills and direct them into employment for those unwilling to pursue entrepreneurship?
