New Vision Online : Britania to hire the blind
BRITANIA Allied Industries is set to recruit the deaf for their packaging industry. Vinay Dawda, the managing director, announced this during a visit to the Uganda School for the Deaf in Ntinda on Saturday.
Dawda, who had taken donations to the children as celebrations to mark the World Environment Day, was concerned that many deaf people were jobless mainly due to discrimination.
“We shall employ the deaf to work in the packaging sections. We are appealing to the deaf who are of working age to come for jobs,” he said.
He said Britania will make it a policy to ensure that the disabled are employed like the rest.
His remarks followed requests from the school head teacher Juliet Tumuhairwe to have the deaf catered for.
Rebecca Amoding, the Britania human resource manager, disclosed that the company employs 15 to 20 people a day.
“We shall employ them in the four packaging sections of confectionary, juice, biscuits and water manufacturing plant,” she said. Amoding said during the peak season, up to 1,000 people can be employed per month.
