According to the latest Central Bank Economic and Social
Statistics report (2015), 13% of Sri Lankan labour force engage in the motor vehicles and motor cycles industry.
According to the latest data from the everjobs career report, the auto-motive industry has created about 350 new jobs in the past 06 months. The recent edition of the career rep-ort is assembled by monitoring the job listings in everjobs.lk. It further underlined that getting a bachelor’s degree or diploma tailored to the indu-stry can put you at the head of the class–and maybe even on the road to automotive stardom.
Of course, plenty of other roads lead to the automotive industry. Many have nothing to do with college or any sort of car-centric training, but job seekers who hope to parlay their love for motor vehicles into a profit-able career ought to keep their professional goals in mind as they look to the future.
But maybe you don’t want to be an engineer or a designer. Maybe you’re interested in automotive marketing or vintage car restoration or working on sports cars. Here are three prog-rams that provide a road map to a plum position in one of the country’s most vibrant industries.
Automotive Engineering and Transportation Design
Many universities and institutions have excellent industrial design pro-grams, but if car design is your spec-ific goal, then the Institute of Auto-motive Engineers is the Promised Land. Inaugurated in 1988, the cou-rses and examinations in Automotive Engineering and Transportation des-ign conducted by the institute is very popular among students. The Depart-ment of Motor Traffic by its circular dated 8th June 2005 had accepted the Corporate Membership of the Institute as a qualification to issue fitness certificate for vehicles.
Automobile Restoration
If you’re looking for a job in the resto-ration field—restoring old cars, man-aging restoration projects, or, most challenging of all, restoring cars yourself—the NAITA Automobile Engineering Training Institute ought to be your top choice. With a well-equipped work shop, the institute offers a broad spectrum of classes covering everything from rebuilding to restoring.

Automotive Marketing and Management
A substantial chunk of the automobile industry is devoted to selling cars and trucks, and the components that go into and onto them. Yet ANC Education —aimed at aspiring managers and entrepreneurs—is the only school in the country offering degree tracks that focus on Automotive Marketing and Management. The internship (400 hours of paid employment) is also designed to provide the student with supervised on-the-job training.
