Teach what is actually hired
We train corporate teams every week, so we know which skills appear in job descriptions this year rather than five years ago.
Social Initiatives
Training, given back
For seventeen years we have taught technology to people whose companies paid for it. This is the part we do for the people whose companies never called — starting with Indians living with disability, who are qualified, willing, and still waiting for a first chance.
Now open
Project Saksham
Free digital-skills training for persons with 30% or more disability — taught by the same trainers, using the same material, as our corporate programmes. No fee of any kind.
- Computers, Excel, AI tools, data, design and workplace communication.
- In person or online, decided per batch from the nominations we receive.
- Screen readers, sign language, captions and accessible venues arranged in advance.
- CV help, interview practice and introductions to employers who hire inclusively.
Why we do it
The skill gap is not the barrier. The door is.
Most people we meet through this programme are not short of ability or of will. They are short of one employer who looked properly.
Remove the small blockers first
Travel, a device, an interpreter, a room with a ramp. These are what end most attempts — so we ask about them on the form, before day one.
Follow it through to work
A certificate that ends in a drawer helps nobody. We stay involved until there is a CV, an interview and an introduction.
What comes next
Initiatives we are working towards
Saksham is where we have started. These follow as capacity and support allow.
Inclusive hiring workshops
Short sessions for HR teams on how to write, interview and onboard so that a disabled candidate is assessed on the work.
In preparationTrainer fellowships
Backing Saksham graduates who want to teach, so the next batch is taught by someone who has walked the same road.
In preparationA device bank
Refurbished laptops and assistive technology lent to learners who have the aptitude but not the hardware.
Seeking donorsOne seat costs less than you would guess
Fund a learner, donate a laptop, lend an accessible room for a weekend, interpret a session, or open one internship. Every one of those is a real answer.
