WHAT IS ISSARA ACADEMY?

Responsible sourcing and ethical recruitment are in increasingly higher demand from US, European, and Australian brands and retailers.  Issara Academy's comprehensive training programs have been designed for all levels of supplier and recruiter management and operations in Southeast Asia, from managing directors and heads of HR, to HR staff and line supervisors.  Many trainings also aim to cultivate multi-stakeholder exchange and collaboration, and include local government and civil society staff as well.

​

We draw upon trends and data that are the most up to date, leveraging worker voice and experience from thousands of workers and jobseekers, and understanding the current realities that businesses are facing.  Our training is topical, timely, and evidence-based - ensuring that participants receive information tailored to their business industry and geography.
