JLL India offers certificate program in Facilities Management

MUMBAI: Property Consulting firm, JLL India, will offer certificate programs in Facilities Management in collaboration with Manpower Group and EMPI Business School.The statement added that ‘this initiative is aimed at meeting the need for a formal academic approach to empowering aspirant candidates for a career in Facilities Management (FM), which is one of the fastest-growing real estate services verticals in India today’.

These co-created training and certification modules will be delivered by combining classroom learnings with live apprenticeships in leading corporates.

“This unique co-creation between industry and academia is directly aligned to Prime Minister Modi’s vision of Skill India to leverage India’s potential demographic dividend. It is also in line with JLL’s corporate citizenship and sustainability mission of triple bottom-line contribution towards people, planet and profit,” said Sandeep Sethi, managing director – Integrated Facilities Management, JLL West Asia.

With Indian real estate advancing towards increasing corporatisation, there has been an increased demand for industry-ready FM professionals. However, this domain has so far relied heavily on unstructured ‘learn-on-the-job’ apprenticeships, without the assurance of governance or quality-imparting institutions, added the release.
