India’s former Consul General in Liberia and Jeety Conglomerate Chief Executive Officer Mr. Upjit Singh Sachdeva has announced forty-five jobs at Jeety Rubber Factory for Booker Washington Institute (BWI) students.
Delivering the keynote speech at BWI’s Post-Secondary and Professional Programs in Kakata Saturday, 11 March 2023, Mr. Jeety said 20 annual internship opportunities are reserved for students who are studying automotive, mechanical and electrical engineering.
He announced another 25 cadet employment slots for BWI graduates with automotive, mechanical and electrical engineering knowledge.
The Indian businessman and philanthropist said the jobs will be available when the Jeety Rubber Factory starts full operations in a few months.

“As we celebrate the achievement of these graduates, I want to announce here 20 annual internship opportunities for students studying automotive, mechanical and electrical engineering,” said Mr. Jeety.
“It is in this regard that I am partnering with BWI to create industry ready talents through internships and cadet employment opportunities,” he added.
