Kaieteur News – A job fair was hosted at Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara, on Sunday by Banks DIH Limited.
Kaieteur News understands that the employment drive was hosted with the intention of targeting laid off sugar estate workers from that community. Director of the Engineering Services Department at Banks DIH, Shabir Hussain explained that the company is seeking a number of skilled and unskilled persons to fill vacancies.
He explained, “We have a number of posts that are open for a number of persons including technician both electrical, mechanical, gardeners, cleaners, clerical staff, and engineers. We are seeking to fill those vacancies and at the same time giving an opportunity to the workers who were affected by the estate closure to secure employment with the company.”
According to Hussain, close to thirty persons turned up to the job fair. He explained that while the fair targets the laid off sugar workers, it is open to everyone. “This is our first one here, we plan on coming back to Uitvulgt and later we will target other communities where there are similar unemployment issues. We want to do more job fairs because our company is also expanding,” Hussain added.
The employment drive was hosted even as the local beverage giant report an increase in profit this year despite the numerous setbacks, particularly trade and commodity costs attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.
