How Do I Teach Employability

This tutorial is based on employability training conducted for 1000s of persons with different disabilities across cities and districts. It will help you understand the root causes for different modules in employability. It will also help you implement the training by seeing actual training with visually and hearing impaired students. You will also see the impact of the training by hearing from alumni students who are working successfully across the country.

The modules may require implementation in a different format in your region or language to get the required outcome.
