GROHE, Germany launched Skill Training Center for Cerfied Plumbing in New Delhi
International sanitary fittings brand Grohe has announced the launch of its
second Grohe Dual Tech in India, in New Delhi. After its successful run in
Mumbai, Grohe, in association with Don Bosco Learning Center, is all set to
train young people from economically challenged backgrounds in the region by
imparting training programme in certified plumbing.
The programme
addresses the dual need of the industry – on one hand it supports the youth with
skill development, while on the other, fills the skilled-labour supply
gap.
Grohe Dual Tech aims to enhance the professionalism of the local
plumbing trade. The institute will play an instrumental role in empowering the
young individuals to learn plumbing skills and make a career in the Indian
sanitary fittings industry.
Grohe Dual Tech, established in 2009 in Don
Bosco Mumbai, is an award-winning aid project recognised by the German Federal
Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development for its innovation and
significant social impact.
It enrols young people from economically challenged
backgrounds who strive to make a living and enables them to fulfil their true
potential via feasible careers. Apart from the technical aspects, the academy
also offers soft-skills training which includes the development of behavioural
skills in areas such as customer relationship, etiquette and work
ethics.
Renu Misra, Managing Director, Grohe India said in a statement:
"The foundation of Grohe Dual Tech as an initiative stems from the realization
of our responsibility towards the people and the environment. With this
institutional framework we see ourselves contributing to the upliftment of
underprivileged children and young people in the poorest regions. We see high
demand for skilled workers in the sanitary ware and real estate space in India.
The country continues to have a large number of unemployed youth. We are
determined to plug this gap and create opportunities for ambitious young
people."
Since its inception, Grohe Dual Tech has trained more than 1,000
apprentices so far with a full strength batch of young individuals currently
attending preparatory courses for plumbing in its Mumbai-based branch.
