By MYBRANDBOOK
Microsoft has collaborated with non-profit organisation EnAble India to empower persons with disabilities (PwDs).
The initiative is called ‘Inclusion to Action’, that aims to bring together more than 100 organisations across financial services, manufacturing, retail and tech sectors to work together on tech skilling, mentorship, internship and employment initiatives to unlock 1,00,000 opportunities for PwDs.
In addition, they get access to training curriculum on modern workplace applications for higher productivity and effective collaboration. The company said that an increased representation of PwDs will lead to inclusive product development, which can aid technology users with disabilities.
Anant Maheshwari, President, Microsoft India, said, “This collaboration marks the beginning of a continuous endeavour to engage with multiple stakeholders across industry, advocates, experts, policymakers, and the disability community to empower and transform employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.”
EnAble India has catered to the needs of 19 disabilities thus far, impacting more than 325,000 individuals including persons with disabilities and their families in 28 states and 7 union territories in the country.
