Batch 1

In October 2024, BConnected initiated the “BEmpowered” programme to enhance employment opportunities for persons with disabilities (PWDs) in collaboration with the GIZ – Vocational Training in Sri Lanka Project. The one-year pilot project adopted a dual approach, focusing on preparing candidates through skills development and placement support, while guiding employers to establish inclusive hiring practices, addressing key gaps in the disability employment landscape in Sri Lanka.

Through this programme, 47 young persons with disabilities were provided with training free of charge, in Soft Skills, Personality Development, functional English and basic IT, to enhance employability skills. The trainees included those with vision impairments, hearing/speech impairments, physical disabilities and little persons. Over 30 trainees have been connected to employment opportunities in the corporate sector.
