Employment Opportunities for the Disabled

Radhika Kapur

Every individual intends to make a living; in some cases, they are dependent upon others such as their family members, fathers, mothers, spouses, siblings and so forth. In some cases, people who are low income groups or have some problems such as inability to work are dependent upon other charitable organizations such as non-government organizations, churches, food banks and so forth. In this research paper, the researcher emphasizes upon the fact that disabled people also intend to look for employment opportunities, jobs to make themselves professional and to earn a living. The main areas that have been highlighted in this research paper are the reasons for hiring people with disabilities, integrating job opportunities for people with disabilities, aspects to be taken under consideration when providing employment to disabled persons, strategies to implement when recruiting people with disabilities, attributes encountered at work for persons with disabilities and barriers encountered in work. Disabled persons are engaged in employment, but they do face obstacles sometimes during the course of their work. Proper equipment, devices and mechanisms are required for the disabled people when they are engaged in jobs. When disabled persons are provided with appropriate training they become aware and knowledgeable regarding their job duties and are able to attain employment.
