With the hope of living a life of dignity and self respect, around 50
differently-abled candidates participated in a job fair meant
specifically for them - 'Ability 2013', held at National Institute of
Technical Teachers' Training and Research (NIITTR), Chandigarh, and
organised in association with the Confederation Of Indian Industries
(CII), North Region.
The initiative aimed at providing equal opportunity to
differently-abled persons, and empower them by providing them with
gainful employment. 11 companies took part this year to provide the
same, such as Competent Synergies, IBM Global Process Services, Ace
Hospital, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd, Jubilant Food Works (master
franchisee of Dominos International) etc.
32 of the candidates got shortlisted by various companies for
various job roles such as those of customer care executives, mechanical
engineers, fitters, electricians, packers. 65 % of the candidates that
participated were orthopedically challenged, 10 % were hearing impaired
and 25% of them were visually challenged.
