It is a well known fact that
education is an essential aspect for individual and corporate growth. Magrabi
Agriculture is aware of this fact and thus it is a part of its mission
statement to invest in Human Resources. This kind of investment includes
training in-house, local, or international. The administration is very aware
that it is through employees’ growth Magrabi will be very competitive in
its business. This training included illiteracy training for the workers and
career advancement training for its employees. However, the number of
participants was always limited. Therefore, the Fairtrade adoption was a
different route to encourage workers to participate in the illiteracy program.
The Fairtrade joint body committee agreed on the following programs:
Illiteracy Education: there is a big number of literate workers in the
agriculture field; they can neither read nor write. Therefore, the committee
agreed on elevating those workers education by using some of the Fairtrade
premium in illiteracy training. The program was initiated in 2004 and since
then a total of 121 has graduated. With the increasing awareness about the
program among workers, the number of participants increases yearly.
Career Advancement Training (CAT):. The joint body committee agreed on
career advancement training for those employees who did not complete their
education,those who are seeking higher education, or those who are looking for
job related training. The committee is now accepting applications for those who
are seeking any of these trainings. |
