Recommendations/ Thoughts For PWD to gain economic independence- Capacity building is key - PWD trainers is the way forward: they serve as role models, have faced the challenges and are living examples of employability- ICT material when created: should be usable in multiple ways: online via internet, offline on PC, book, cassette, TV, Radio and so on..- Keep it simple!

  16. ERP tool You can serve your stakeholders ONLY with PROPER DATA and WORKFLOW!- Companies want candidates yesterday! Even if PWD is a yes, they will be flooded with non PWD resumes. It’s a race against time! How? (profile*, powerful search by many parameters: groups)- Comprehensive view of data: trained, work experience, evaluator comments, functional aspects of disability, patterns of behaviour, emp projects attempted?DISABILITY BECOMES THE BRAND – Good products given in a timely manner with good follow up and interventions!

  17. ERP tool The ERP helps us sustain and scale our operations with the required quality, productivity and cost efficiency. Workflow has key elements which require expertsUsing non expert resources - Preliminary Candidate matching - Interview Follow up, sending resumes, offer follow up - Retention follow up - Company services (training and workshop coordination) - Candidate tasks (missing RESUMES!, PG, financial aid, proof)

  18. BEST PRACTICE: Profiling of candidates: Focused training, better quality of source and efficiency in response to companies. ERP!
