German organizations teamed up with local companies to start a new job training program for deaf people across Ghana. The Signs of Success project will teach 220 hearing-impaired workers how to operate machines at clothing factories. DTRT Apparel and the Ghana National Association of the Deaf joined forces with German Development Cooperation for this program. Most trainees will find full-time work at DTRT factories around Accra and Tema after finishing their classes. Leaders from all three groups met at a launch event to celebrate the partnership.
John Duti from GIZ Ghana talked about how important it is to give everyone fair chances at work. He said the textile business can create many good jobs for people who need them most. The program helps Ghana meet global goals for helping disabled workers find steady employment. Duti promised that German groups will keep supporting projects that help all people succeed at work. His team believes factories should welcome workers from every background and ability level.

Duorinaah thanked German partners for working hard to make the project happen after months of planning. He believes other organizations should copy this model when creating programs for disabled workers. The collaboration proves that deaf people have valuable skills for factory jobs.

Workers receive daily meals and free rides to work from the company. Salifu promised that DTRT will welcome disabled people as they grow their business across Ghana. She believes every person has special talents that can help companies succeed.
