Skills Acquisition Phase II

CHALLENGE

In recognizing the global paradigm shift to sustainable development, the need to empower individuals within the communities to be financially stable and gainfully employed has become increasingly necessary.

SOLUTION

We believe that helping build sustainable communities contribute to the success of our business and that the best community support is where we can ‘help others to help themselves’, primarily because we want to be enablers not simply providers.

RESULTS

Driven by this goal, it is therefore imperative to ensure that communities benefit from our support, through initiatives which we believe can make real and lasting contribution.
