This program was launched to enhance the teaching skills of the trainers in various aspects of computer skills, Employability & Life Skills. Conceptual Background: IT and computers is the biggest enabler for the educated persons with vision impairment. It has a deeper impact for the persons with vision impairment than for persons without disability. Computer education for the persons with vision impairment enables them in their basic education, higher education, research, daily living and employment. Along with academic qualification, a student would have to possess many other skills for the job like technical skills, right attitude, exposure to real world, job & work environment awareness, overcoming disability, handling stress, managing conflict etc. candidates those who possess these skills are called as "EMPLOYABLE" candidates. In the present scenario we see many candidates who have good academic qualifications are not necessarily "EMPLOYABLE" candidates. When it comes to a person with disability the challenges are more. In the current competitive job market the person with disability need to be more efficient, with excellent skills set, attitude to overcome disability, exposure to right assistive aids & solutions etc. to become employable. EnAble India has designed & developed courses on Computers, Employability and Life Skills for visually impaired to make the candidate a finished product. This course is derived from 14+ years of EnAble India's experience in training & employment of persons with disabilities. The TOT program aims at building the capacity of the trainers of various institutions/NGOs/Schools to conduct the Computer, Employability & Life Skills courses effectively. The ToT serves as an orientation to the teaching methodology, best practices in employability training, teaching aids and tools used in the training.
