P.A.C.E. (Personal Advancement and Career Enhancement) is a program, developed by Gap Inc. dedicated to supporting women who work in the global apparel industry and within our global supply chain. Through this program women are given foundational life skills, technical training and support that will help them advance in the workplace and in their personal lives.
In 2017, we at AGI launched the PACE program for our female garment workers. We interviewed and selected 4 trainers from our organization and had them undergo a weeklong training session. Since then, these trainers have successfully passed on their training to over 1,200 female garment workers at AGI. Our goal for 2021 is to train an additional 900 female garment workers.
We partake in the International Labor Organization's project called the Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprises (SCORE). It provides practical training and an in-factory counseling program that improves productivity and working conditions in small- to medium-size enterprises.
