SPEAKER_04Helping people to help themselves,
0:57 → 1:00
SPEAKER_04this concept works extremely well in Mumbai
1:00 → 1:02
SPEAKER_04with the Grow a Jal Academy.
1:02 → 1:03
SPEAKER_04This training workshop at the Don
1:03 → 1:05
SPEAKER_04Bosco Learning Centre qualifies young
1:05 → 1:08
SPEAKER_04people from extremely poor backgrounds, many
1:09 → 1:11
SPEAKER_04streets, to become professional plumbers.
1:11 → 1:14
SPEAKER_04This gives them the opportunity to start a career
1:14 → 1:16
SPEAKER_04as a skilled tradesman and to earn their own livelihood.
1:17 → 1:20
SPEAKER_04Education is obviously key to a better future.
1:20 → 1:23
SPEAKER_04The idea was to train young people in plumbing,
1:23 → 1:27
SPEAKER_04a trade in urgent need of skilled labor in India.
1:27 → 1:29
SPEAKER_04To put this idea into action, Groa
1:29 → 1:31
SPEAKER_04sought to team up with a competent
1:31 → 1:35
SPEAKER_04and reputable organization in 2008.
1:35 → 1:36
SPEAKER_01We started to negotiate with
1:36 → 1:40
SPEAKER_01different partners like Tedesom, like SOS Kinderwerfer
1:40 → 1:44
SPEAKER_01and finally we got contact to John Bosco
1:44 → 1:49
SPEAKER_01and with John Bosco we tried to select some places
1:49 → 1:51
SPEAKER_01where we really can found an academy
1:51 → 1:55
SPEAKER_01to train plumbers and finally we made
1:55 → 1:57
SPEAKER_01the decision to start this in Mumbai.
1:57 → 2:00
SPEAKER_04German NGO Don Bosco Mondo can draw on more
2:00 → 2:03
SPEAKER_04than 30 years experience in vocational training
2:03 → 2:04
SPEAKER_04and has cooperated with a Mumbai
2:04 → 2:06
SPEAKER_04based Don Bosco center for learning in
2:06 → 2:09
SPEAKER_04the area of vocational training for many years.
2:09 → 2:11
SPEAKER_02In India we do not have
2:11 → 2:15
SPEAKER_02a certified modular plumbing course at all.
2:15 → 2:16
SPEAKER_02So Grohe coming into this picture
2:16 → 2:19
SPEAKER_02for India now with the pilot in Kurla
2:19 → 2:21
SPEAKER_02is going to help us start something
2:21 → 2:25
SPEAKER_02in the country which can take care of the plumbing needs.
2:25 → 2:28
SPEAKER_04Vocational training alone is often no longer sufficient.
2:28 → 2:30
SPEAKER_04Today's market makes high demands on
2:30 → 2:31
SPEAKER_04the quality of services.
2:31 → 2:34
SPEAKER_04New products require new skills.
2:34 → 2:36
SPEAKER_04Young people not only want diplomas
2:36 → 2:38
SPEAKER_04but good and future-proof jobs.
2:38 → 2:39
SPEAKER_04To meet these challenges, Don
2:39 → 2:42
SPEAKER_04Bosco cooperates with private sector companies.
2:44 → 2:46
SPEAKER_04The Grohe-Jal Academy's approach brings
2:46 → 2:48
SPEAKER_04together a company and a social
2:48 → 2:52
SPEAKER_04organization in an alliance which creates a win-win situation.
2:52 → 2:54
SPEAKER_04Academy graduates are not obliged to work
2:54 → 2:56
SPEAKER_04for Grohe after the completion of their training.
2:56 → 2:57
SPEAKER_04They are free to pursue the
2:57 → 2:59
SPEAKER_04best opportunities available to them.
3:00 → 3:02
SPEAKER_04Groa equally benefits from this model
3:02 → 3:04
SPEAKER_04both directly and indirectly.
3:04 → 3:07
SPEAKER_04Qualified plumbers can provide expert advice,
3:07 → 3:10
SPEAKER_04install high-quality products professionally
3:10 → 3:12
SPEAKER_04and ensure long-term customer satisfaction,
3:12 → 3:14
SPEAKER_04all of which will enhance the standing
3:14 → 3:16
SPEAKER_04of the Groa brand in India.
3:16 → 3:19
SPEAKER_00Groa and this experience found a
3:19 → 3:22
SPEAKER_00big resonance in the sector of development work.
3:23 → 3:25
SPEAKER_03What actually attracted us besides the
3:25 → 3:27
SPEAKER_03skill sets is enjoy water.
3:29 → 3:32
SPEAKER_03The sentence there, so German cooperation
3:32 → 3:35
SPEAKER_03we might have are poor young people,
3:35 → 3:36
SPEAKER_03as he says, really getting into
3:36 → 3:39
SPEAKER_03earning their own livelihood and making a life for themselves.
3:40 → 3:42
