Faculty are experienced trainers and experts in their field.

The emphasis is on gaining practical skills in an enjoyable atmosphere.

Examination, practical assessments and homework assignments help trainers assess student' understanding.

Many of our field staff left school at a young age to start work. For them, in-house training, in classes like computer skills, are highly valued.

Classes aren't just in the classroom. Staff learn practical skills related to their work.

Our infrastructure field staff go over their study notes.

A graduation ceremony celebrates the accomplishments of the students.

Sales staff learn about the changes in this season's new design.

And, of course, there's cake.

The Proximity School

Investing in Staff Development

Year-round, practical, hands on learning and growth

At Proximity, we’re always trying to better our efforts and improve our skills, and we’ve designed The Proximity School to help us do just that.

Every Monsoon season, each team (infrastructure, sales, FAS and management) comes to Yangon for three intense weeks of classes before the start of the new season. The emphasis is on gaining practical, relevant knowledge, that will have a tangible impact on their work when they’re back in the field. The syllabus is made up of workshops on data analysis, sales and marketing, photography, leadership, customer service and area management - classes that typically induce yawns in their attendees - but here they’re delivered with a twist. Creativity, colorful post-its, teamwork and brainstorming are the order of the day.

In a country with limited hands on education opportunities, the School - modeled on the corporate universities of leading international organizations - provides our staff with skills training and a practical education unavailable anywhere else in the country. It helps empower a workforce that takes ownership within the organization, and drives us forward.
