Digital Content Writing Training for Visually Impaired People to be A Digital Nomad Talent


Description

Suarise held digital content writing training that focuses on capacity building for the blind community to work remotely as a digital content writer. The competency is vital because they lost their work during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the immobility effect of lock down and being prone to contaminated surfaces. Through digital content writing competency, companies have a higher potential to recruit visually impaired people, become freelance content writers, and promote their own business whenever possible through digital platforms. The taining runs for five months, focusing on four skill sets to enable them to work as a digital nomad: 1. SEO Article development 2. Social Media Editorial Plan 3. Search Engine Marketing (SEO) 4. Digital Press Release Modules are equipped with quizzes and accessible working documents to ensure the comprehension of the topics in theory and practice. These documents guide participants who mainly use screen readers for a systematic and easy writing process for specific content output. The training is divided into two-part, with 100% online execution: 1. 18 in-class-sessions to develop the writing skill and 2.Two months of On Job Training (OJT) to simulate the remote-working situation and build their writing portfolio. Content assignments that pass the evaluation will be published as their portfolio on talents.suarise.com website. At this point, the talents are ready to work professionally. They will get the rapport and certificate accordingly based on their achievement during the training.

Sustainability

The project can be sustained in two ways: 1) Using private/government partnership to enable the organisation (Suarise) to run the process through sponsorship/CSR scheme 2) Whereas sponsorship is not present, pay later applied, where trainees are obligated to pay for the training cost only after they get a job.


WSIS values promotion

The project enables better accessibility of the digital sector. It helps blind people build digital content writing skills that can enhance their chance of being employed. Digital content writing is a set of skills that enables a person to work anywhere with a computer and an internet connection. This field can include opportunities for the blind and visually impaired because it focuses primarily on writing.
