Guess who has a birthday coming up?
On the 12th of November 2021, SISU opened the doors to its new vocational training academy at the former Dulwich College Campus.
SISU started out life in our Founder’s home with a small group of local youths learning how to be domestic helpers.
Now in our 6th year of operating, we will be celebrating this birthday with the employment of our 600th trainee!
Class of August 2022 – ‘On-the-job’ trainees
The SISU curricula offers a wide range of vocational training courses and different learning styles.
Our ‘on-the-job’ trainees learn through observation and hands on practise using the processes, tools or machinery needed for the job.
The current group of 54 trainees have specialised in Housekeeping (hotel and home), F&B (kitchen and waiter) and Maintenance. All will also have completed our compulsory introduction courses in English language, basic computer skills and well being.
‘Entry Level Office’ trainees
Our entry level office trainees have been busy in the classroom learning the basics of office life and the key skills and tools needed to succeed. They have been developing their practical skills and learning how to interact with customers in our custom built simulated Call Centre, Retail, Bank and Customer Service Office working environment.
The trainees will be available for interview from mid November.
Contact us now to book an interview.
Introducing…
Launched in collaboration with SISU, MECA Hospitality is a new initiative developed to train Myanmar youths to an international standard in the roles of Housekeeper, Receptionist, Personal Assistant and Butler. The project is the vision of Boris Granges, (Founder of Le Planteur restaurant) and is named in memory of his work partner, Michel Meca.
Starting with a class of 20 trainees the course will run for 6 months initially and will operate from SISU’s flagship Academy in Hlaing Thar Yar.
We wish them every success.
