Hall, Parkroyal Hotel. Christoph Burgener, Ambassador of Switzerland and the representatives from the Ministries, universities, and organizations attended the MOU sign- ing ceremony. The program is aimed for young talents who would like to develop a career in the lift industry and to contribute to Myanmar society by uplifting the quality and safety standards of lifts installation and maintenance.
In the program, the classroom lessons are conducted by CVT with practical hands-on experience with Schindler.

The Schindler Group is a leading global provider of elevators and escalators with 54,000 employees operating in more than 100 countries. The Group has been operat- ing in Myanmar for 16 years and delivering premium customer services to Myanmar clients.
