HEARING IMPAIRED GRAPHIC DESIGNERS GET INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

 A group of hearing impaired persons from the School for the Deaf in Rathmalana successfully completed the Graphic Designer course at the Vocational Training Institute in Narahenpita. Convenience Foods (Lanka) PLC, a subsidiary of Ceylon Biscuits Ltd. Sponsored these hearing impaired students to successfully complete the training. Ms. Manique Gunaratne of The Employers’ Federation of Ceylon, Specialised Training & Disability Resource Centre provided Internship opportunities for all these Graphic Designers in private sector companies so that they can complete the NVQ Level certification. In October 2019 Convenience Food (Lanka) PLC organized a function to congratulate the Graphic Designers and to extend their sincere gratitude to The Employers’ Federation of Ceylon for finding Internship opportunities.
