SGS Academy for the Community provides high quality technical training to people earning less than the average living wage in the communities where we operate.
The aim of this pro bono initiative is to support local economic development by enhancing access to and quality of employment. The training is provided free of charge to participants who would not otherwise be able to afford it.
In 2019, SGS Academy for the Community began supporting projects in Chile, Taiwan, South Africa and India.
