Vocational Training & Employment

Umang believes that all persons, regardless of disability, have the right to work in the community for a competitive remuneration with the same dignity and respect as other people.

The unit provides regular training to full time trainees and pre-vocational groups in a number of trades such as

• Stitching and Embroidery

• Baking and Cookery

• Block Printing

• Handmade Paper

• Handicrafts
   

The aim of the unit is not just to develop specific skills, but also to develop certain behaviors that would enable the trainees to obtain and retain employment. A vocational training program to best suit the apprentices is developed after evaluation of abilities, tests of manual and physical skills, work behavior assessment, vocational interest assessment and identification of trade.

Sales of the products manufactured during training are sold through various outlets, counters in shops and reputed hotels as well as through participation in various fairs and schools fetes. In addition to this, the unit takes up time bound orders.

We also strive to connect with potential employers – especially employers who are proactive about recruiting people with disabilities.
