Company Overview

In 1979, Sarina combined inspiration and desperation to open a small typing school with just nine students. On graduation, she promised all the students jobs and she delivered. The ability to execute is what the Sarina Russo brand stands for and why people have trusted it for over 47 years. Today, the Sarina Russo Group employs over 400 staff and is a global leader in education, employment and training.
