Project Update - November 2010

By Humaira Bokhari - Programme Manager

November took off as a good month as far as interviews, evaluations and selection are concerned. However all the candidates selected were put on hold by the concerned companies, for commencement in December. 

What was achieved this month?

  • 14 persons with a hearing impairment were interviewed at Artistic Milliner, out of which 8 have been selected.
  • 7 persons with a mental disability were selected out of 12 for internships at Gul Ahmed. Successful interns will be hired after 3 months.
  • Evaluations of 7 persons with a visual impairment and 6 persons with a hearing impairment held for future placements

What companies did we meet, or that agreed to take PWDs?

  • NOWPDP staff met with TCS and mutually agreed to place people with disabilities in upcoming special projects and to establish systems for employing PWDs in regular positions.

Monthly Goals:

  • Number of companies met: 1 (planned: 4)
  • Number of applicant CVs sent to employers: 26 (planned: 20)
  • Number of applicants commencing employment: 0 (planned: 10)
  • Number of applicants selected but not commenced: 15
