Dear Friends, Sharing with the list, information regard to recent special training program that was conducted by the Union Bank of India for its visually impaired staff members at the staff training center, Gurgaon.
It was a 6 days well designed training plan by the bank. The training program primarily focused on possible job roles and executing those job roles by accessing various bank packages and Finacle with jaws. I am indeed gratified to state here that I am part of this initiative of the bank since September 2013 with my involvement with bank’s training college presentation on “ensuring inclusive classroom training for pwd”. Our bank has implemented and leveraged many of the accessibility provisions in the last 1 year e.g. daisy reading material for trainees, publishing HTML and accessible pdf manual on using jaws with finacle. With Regard to this special training program, I along with Prashant Naik was involved in conceptualizing, designing program, preparing manuals, pre training arrangements, etc. bank published reading material with newer edition of Finacle with jaws manual and other manuals on HRMS, email client with jaws, etc. prepared by Jerin Jose and Yogesh Taneja. Overall this pilot training is a great success as bank management got good pragmatic understanding on needs and possibilities for persons with visual impairment. Many further plans have been declared by bank on such training and accessibility improvements. We are ready to embark on this journey of empowering visually impaired bank employees, and after completion of this training program we are very confident that there are endless possibilities for visually impaired friends in banking sector.
