Life Long Learning and Employment for People with Disabilities


Description

People with Disabilities (PwDs) are not offered the appropriate training programs that would help them meet the job market needs and consequently they are experiencing a high rate of unemployment.

The offered training programs range from basic IT and soft skills program to specific technical skills that ate specified by the IT companies which are interested in hiring PwDs.
