Training and Fellowship program on Skilled Migration for Journalists

Call for Applications

The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) is now open for applications from journalists interested in developing their knowledge and skills in international labour migration through a training and fellowship program.

CIR’s latest training and in-depth reporting initiative, “Reporting for Change on Skilled Migration”, offers 60 Sri Lankan journalists an opportunity to receive training on how to report on international labour migration with a focus on skilled migration. The top 30 will qualify for reporting fellowships.

With a population of over two million persons working abroad and a continuous outflow of workers each year, Sri Lanka continues to face multiple challenges regarding migrant workers despite a long history as a labour exporting country with remittances contributing 9% of the GDP prior to the pandemic. The recent economic crisis is driving more Sri Lankans towards migration for work, reflected in the high demand for passports since early 2022.

This program will offer participants a sectoral overview, migration patterns, challenges faced by workers abroad and how increased knowledge, skills and attitudes could contribute to enhanced incomes, work safety, more work options and secure, sustainable employment. It will prepare journalists to undertake insightful and nuanced reporting with mentoring support from a panel of eminent journalists.

The three training programs will be held in June 2023.
