Sudokko is a skills development initiative funded by UK aid and SDC that provides vocational training to workers with little education within readymade garments (RMG) and construction sectors in Bangladesh. Sudokkho works with private employers to develop skills training systems that enable new and existing employees to acquire skills required for higher valued skilled and semi-skilled jobs. Our collaboration programs with Sudokkho allow new and less skilled workers to learn new skills within 15 days and apply them in the workplace. Workers receive training on discipline, quality, duties, compliance, housekeeping, and other skills.
Azim Group has a partnership with Asian University for Women (AUW) that gives our female workers the opportunity to further their education and become university graduates. Interested workers who pass admission tests and the University’s requirements, qualify for the “Pathways for Promise” program at Asian University for Women (AUW) to be full-time students at AUW’s campus in Chittagong. Azim Group workers who choose to study at AUW receive full scholarship from AUW while Azim Group continues to pay them monthly salaries as they would receive while working in factory. Upon graduation with a University degree from AUW, former workers are considered for managerial positions if they wish to return to work at Azim Group.
