Sazzad Hossain, CEO of SDI Academy had a first hand experience of not being able to speak a single word of english when he arrived in Singapore. His own struggle has inspired him to launch an initiative to teach english to people with similar struggle, more specifically - the migrant workers.

The session will cover these key areas:
-
Introduction to migrant landscape in Singapore
-
How diversity and social inclusion can make Singapore a holistic role model for a developed world
-
How socially responsible MNCs can work with social enterprises towards ethical profitability and social impact
