'Kalvi Jaffna 2016' education expo Jan 29-31

The Jaffna International Trade Fair (JITF), a multi-product exhibition in the north, will feature a specialized 'higher education and career guidance' pavilion.

Kalvi (Education) Jaffna as it is popularly known, will be held for the seventh consecutive year from January 29-31 at the Municipal grounds in Jaffna.

Kalvi Jaffna is considered 'Sri Lanka's most focused higher education and career exhibition' in the north.

It is ideal for students, parents and young adults to obtain valuable information on prospective higher education and career opportunities. Over 20,000 students and young adults visited last year's event. There will be over 40 stalls apprising the public on various courses, student programs, higher education options and job opportunities.

Specialized colleges, universities and education consultants will share information and discuss opportunities, thus making it a one-stop-shop for higher education options.

The exhibition organized by the Lanka Exhibition and Conference Services (Pvt) Ltd (LECS) in association with the Yarlpanam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIY) is supported by the Sri Lanka Convention Bureau (SLCB).

The main exhibition last year drew over 60,000 visitors.

There will also be special pavilions and events coinciding with the exhibition. JITF is considered by many as the 'Gateway to the North' for business and investment.
