GROHE JAL Academy to impart professional skills among Youth

The training workshop incorporated by Grohe AG, GROHE JAL Academy has taken an initiative towards enabling 100 more plumbers to enhance their plumbing skills within the next one year.

Renu Misra, VP & MD, Grohe AG commented, We are extremely pleased with the way we have been able to impart professional training to young people from impoverished backgrounds and plumbers in general which helps them to negotiate a better price in the market. The acceptance and the acknowledgement we have received for this project has motivated us immensely to improve our services and expand the scope of this programme.

Renu further added, We aim at bringing about a positive change in the industry as a whole. The endeavour is to make the industry more organized by training plumbers and upgrading their skills to fit the rapidly growing and changing demands of the market.

The students are being trained in the field of water installation as a two-stage process that comprises the basic plumbing training and subsequently the foreman training. GROHE JAL Academy plans to launch different Modules for different customers.

The training workshop at the Don Bosco Learning Center qualifies young people from extremely poor backgrounds, many of whom have lived in the streets, to become professional plumbers. It gives them the opportunity to start a career as skilled tradesmen so as to financially sustain themselves for the future. This in turn will strengthen the plumbing profession like never before, as these trained professionals are more likely to meet the demands for international standard services by urban Indians.

The Academy has produced more than 567 graduates till date.
