MUMBAI: In an effort to help the millions of disabled in India earn a livelihood with dignity, Leonard Cheshire Disability (LCD), an International NGO that supports disabled people 52 countries has designed a unique portal dedicated to facilitate recruitment for persons with disability.
The portal named Jobability.org will cater to people with visual, hearing, speech, loco motor and mild-intellectual disability. The portal is not only for the highly educated and the highly skilled, it will serve as a forum where people with disability can showcase their capabilities, discuss their issues, take advice and meet others in similar situations.
Commenting on this unique Portal developed by LCD, Aruna Rangachar, National Director of CDT said, "Our aim is to use technology and reach out to the underserved communities, break down the barriers that can hinder the access to employment and the professional growth rate of persons with disability. This is a good start to creating an inclusive society which is our ultimate aim, through placing disabled people in mainstream jobs. We need to create visibility for this portal for more and more people with disability to join and find a new career scope through Jobability. We also encourage progressive employers to register themselves and start using Jobability to recruit untapped People With Disability (PWD) talent"
The website targets leading companies in the country to offer jobs by going through the uploaded resumes of the candidates and by registering vacancies which persons with disability can apply to. The website will also provide information related to the livelihood opportunities
This unique portal, which has accessibility features for employment was conceptualised and developed by Leonard Cheshire Disability (UK), as an exclusive job portal for persons with disability from South Asian regions and is currently registered in India by Cheshire Disability Trust (CDT).
CDT is promoting Welcome to Jobability | access to livelihoods | Jobability | Access to Livelihood to persons with disability and potential employers through its Livelihood Resource Centers across India.
