The Honorable Governor of the Northern Province, N. Vethanayahan, attended the inaugural ceremony of the ‘Cargills “ELEVATE” Soft Skills Development Program,’ organized by Cargills at the Cargills Constituency in Jaffna City on Tuesday morning, August 5, 2025.
Speaking on the occasion, the Governor stated “I am delighted to be part of the inaugural event of this initiative by Cargills to empower our youth.
The world today is changing rapidly. While academic and technical knowledge are important, it is the mastery of soft skills—such as communication, teamwork, adaptability, and confidence—that truly sets individuals apart and opens doors to new opportunities.
Through this social responsibility initiative, Cargills is not only reaffirming its commitment to business excellence but also making a meaningful contribution to the betterment of society. You are helping to nurture a generation of youth who are ready for employment and poised to reach their full potential.
I encourage all participating youth to seize this opportunity. Embrace what is being taught, learn, and grow. Remember, every new skill you acquire brings you one step closer to your dreams—and strengthens our province and our country through your potential and promise.”
