Empowering Communication through ISL Workshop with Tata Motors

Youth4Jobs (Y4J) initiated Indian Sign Language (ISL) training with Tata Motors, engaging 56 participants. The session covered greetings, basic terminologies, and communication etiquette, receiving positive feedback. Mr. Pranav, Head of HR, noted that ISL helped him reconnect with himself, while Mr. Rohit Saroj, Deputy General Manager, praised the session’s meaningful impact. The leadership team is eager for the next session.

Tata Motors is expanding opportunities for Sign Hearing Impaired (SHI) candidates, committing to more roles beyond the current apprenticeship program and enhancing ISL proficiency among the workforce.

After the initial session, Y4J conducted an advanced ISL workshop focused on ISL grammar, etiquette, and sentence structure. A factory visit was also conducted to understand the work environment and support an upcoming accessibility audit.

Testimonial: “Tata Motors is deepening its inclusion and diversity agenda. Engaging with speech and hearing impaired individuals revealed our communication limitations. This training equipped us with basic skills to interact with persons with disabilities and reinforced our commitment to diversity and inclusion. We thank Youth4Jobs for being a partner in this journey.” – Mr. Rohit Saroj, CSR Deputy Manager, Tata Motors
