Access to skill-building opportunities is essential for achieving greater equity in the workplace. Through the Life Skills Advancement Intervention, Soorty is supporting the development of over 2,000 garment workers by providing training in areas such as communication, decision-making, stress management, and financial literacy.
As part of this effort, the first phase of a focus group discussion was recently held with women workers at Unit 14. These sessions created space for open dialogue around career growth, workplace challenges, and leadership pathways. Insights gathered will guide the development of tailored training modules that address the lived experiences of our workforce. The initiative is aligned with SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), reinforcing Soorty’s commitment to inclusive professional development.
