The second session, conducted by Mr. Ravindra Rupasinghe, Assistant Director of career guidance unit in Maharagama Youth National Service Council, provided practical career guidance to equip students with the mindset and skills needed to become exceptional professionals with extraordinary talents. Over 50 students representing ICT, Automobile Mechanics, Culinary & Service, and Cosmetology courses actively participated in this halfday program from 9.00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m., with evaluation forms used to measure progress and capture valuable feedback.

The combination of psychological awareness and career guidance was especially significant because it addressed both the inner strength and external skills required for success. While the psychological session helped students build confidence, emotional resilience, and a positive outlook, the career guidance session gave them practical direction to sharpen their talents and prepare for future opportunities. Together, these two components created a balanced approach, ensuring that participants were not only mentally prepared to face challenges but also equipped with the knowledge and skills to thrive in their chosen fields. 

This phase proved highly impactful by motivating participants to stand on their own feet, pursue their life goals, and contribute to a sustainable, selfreliant nation. By integrating mental wellbeing with career readiness, තුරුණු සවි program inspired youth to become the best versions of themselves, sharpen their talents, and embrace a brighter, more secure future. The program’s effectiveness was evident in the confidence and enthusiasm shown by the students, making it a strong foundation for longterm empowerment.
