Foseco Brazil has more than complied with employment regulations by hiring a number of deaf recruits and welcoming them to the team by offering them real career prospects.

Special preparations have been made to ensure new employees work comfortably and safely. Supervisors have had training to learn sign language and sponsors have been adopted to alert deaf colleagues of lunch breaks and fire drills. Introductions were made to every person on site and additional improvements in communication are planned for the near future.

The new recruits are full of enthusiasm to have such a great opportunity at Foseco Brazil, as there are very limited opportunities like this for deaf people.

It is hoped that this initiative will encourage other Brazilian companies to adopt a similar approach.
