Better Work: worker education activities

Short term goals for the project are that garment workers, through participation in training courses, are able to make smarter decisions in their everyday life, be more aware of possible dangers and gain more confidence and for them to disseminate the information to their peers. Short term goals for Better Work are to create more awareness of social protection issues in the garment industry, how they are linked to the workplace and productivity and advocate better conditions for workers. As a long-term goal, the Better Work worker training kit will raise awareness and increase knowledge among workers on workplace and social aspects of their life and hopefully reduce the vulnerability of workers and their families. The training program will not be a money earner for Better Work although an important awareness raising and advocacy tool on issues that are very much interlinked with Better Works core work; to improve compliance with labour standards in global supply chains and the protection of workers’ rights and entitlements.
