Introduction
We live in a world of infinite possibility, and everyone should have a shot at realising their
full potential. However, obstacles on the path to success might make it hard for people with
disabilities to reach their goals. We at the WinVinaya Foundation are committed to
removing these obstacles and enabling people with disabilities to succeed in the workforce.

WinVinaya Foundation, a Charitable Trust is one of the few organisations in India that
focuses on training people with disabilities (PWDs) in high-demand areas like software
engineering, data visualisation, robotic process automation (RPA), and other related
disciplines. According to the most recent census (2011), India is home to almost 1.3 billion
people, 20 million of whom are disabled. The percentage of college graduates is even lower,
at 8.5%.

The private sector in India only employs 0.36 per cent of persons with impairments,
according to a study by NASSCOM.

Some of the main reasons are –  

The Candidates’ Stand Point:-  

 Deficiency of Access to Effective Inclusive Education Resources 


 Inadequate exposure to industry standards, training programmes, and job openings.
 Many open-minded and genuine educators lack the proper and sufficient
preparation to work with students who have special needs.

The Employers’ Stand Point:- 

 The misconception that people with disabilities are unable to fulfil crucial
responsibilities in society.
 Not knowing what makes an inclusive business successful
 Low importance within the organisation

The WinVinaya Foundation was established to serve as a BRIDGE between prospective


employees and businesses, bridging the barriers between them in order to facilitate mutual
success.

Individuals with disabilities have the same potential as anyone else, given the right
opportunities and support. That's why we offer services like resume critiques and mock
interviews to get people ready for the workforce. In order to help our clients become
independent and productive in their professional lives, we provide them with a variety of
resources and services.

The WinVinaya Foundation provides much more than just job placement and training. The
promotion of tolerance and acceptance is something we feel strongly about. We believe
that people with disabilities bring fresh perspectives and abilities to the workplace that can
help everyone. If we work together, we can change the future for individuals with
disabilities.

Learning Objectives
 Career readiness: To help people with disabilities become more self-assured and
more prepared for the job search process by offering job readiness training, resume
writing, and interview preparation skills.
 Workforce development: To provide opportunities for ongoing education and
professional growth, as well as to assist people with disabilities in acquiring the skills
and information they need to thrive in their chosen vocations.
 Empowerment: Enabling people with disabilities to take charge of their lives and
become independent in order to lessen reliance on the government or other support
systems.
 Networking: To give disabled people the chance to network with potential
employers and expand their professional networks, improving their prospects of
landing a job and keeping it.
 Awareness and inclusion: To promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace and
to raise knowledge and understanding of the abilities and contributions of persons
with disabilities.
 Personal growth and development: To create a supportive environment where
people with disabilities can improve their sense of self-worth and confidence as well
as the life skills necessary for both personal and professional success.

Conclusion
Real satisfaction in life comes with doing good for people, and working at WinVinaya
Foundation has allowed me to contribute to a greater cause. My experience and courses on
Social Media Marketing has found a true purpose, I was able to generate awareness in
people about the struggles and challenges of persons with disabilities. Before coming to this
organisation, I wasn’t even aware about how many disability categories are present and
being here has been a great learning experience. My interactions with people who are
disabled have shown me that, once you learn how to communicate with them, they are just
as capable as everyone else, and sometimes even more so.
