Hima Cement, part of the Holcim group, has expanded its long-running vocational training partnership with technical institutes in Kasese. The programme sponsors youth into welding, electrical, mechanical and heavy-plant qualifications, and prioritises trainees from the sub-counties around its limestone quarry and clinker plant.
Company data shared with local media indicates that graduates find work not only inside Hima Cement itself but with the contractors and suppliers that orbit around a large industrial site. That multiplier effect - a training investment paying out beyond the fence line - is exactly the kind of impact UMT looks for when assessing whether industrial operators are building durable local value.
