Personal Development & Career Enhancement Program

With the help of GAP Inc., an initiative called Personnel Advancement and Career Enhancement (PACE) initiative was extended to women from ages 18 to 30 employed at EAM Maliban Group in Sri Lanka. By enhancing the capacity of the women employees, PACE aims to improve the quality of life of these workers both in the work place as well as with their personal and social circles. The goal is effective and more efficient work and this can help the organization to meet the goals and ensure continuous business growth as the company continues to strive for excellence.

The PACE program was designed with the following elements:
