Andreas Schierenbeck, CEO of thyssenkrupp Elevator, said: ?After the successful kick-off of Project SEED in Colombia and Brazil, I am excited to continue to move forward with the program in India, which aims at training children in the country to make them aware of the importance of social responsibility activities. Our company and people are passionate about this important initiative and besides contributing towards making cities the best possible places to live, Project SEED also aims at social balance and improved quality of life among the youth of India.?
Youth unemployment is a considerable social challenge, and one third of young people worldwide lack access to education, training or a job of any kind. In India, young men and women are looking for jobs but many are not appropriately skilled. Hence, skill development is critical to enhancing the employability of the growing young population and also to gear-up the economy to realise the target of faster and inclusive growth.programs are a crucial part of that success.
