PROJECT PARIVARTHAN - 1 (WISE)

About

The WISE program is a pioneering empirically- proven short-term program to fill the knowledge and skill gaps that exist between the business and the rural community of people with disabilities. It establishes model training centers that provide youth with disabilities with employment-related job readiness training, personality development, and opportunities for sustainable employment. Post Covid, trainings are hybrid. Assistive devices& uniforms are given to all trainees. This training gives youth with disabilities their first window of opportunity. The transformational result is they become independent, confident and their family becomes poverty free.

Training: 10^th standard onwards.

Our largest Donor since 2014 for Wise program is Axis Bank Foundation.

Through training I not only learned new signs through interaction with my batch mates but also got know new people. Now I have more friends and I can communicate with them in Sign language. From training Igot know about various topics on how to prepare self for job and skills like grooming and saving my salary, which will help me support my family. Due to COVID-19 outbreak my father lost his job and now I support my salary through my earnings because of which everyone at home is very proud of me.
