This proposal is focused in developing and strengthening the capacities and capabilities of PWDs and equip them with various skillsand competencies to render them job ready. Independent living (IL) peer counselling empowers the mind or psychological state of persons with disabilities through counselling and co-counselling while independent living program such as personal assistance training and other skills training, empower the physical being. Peer counselling restores dignity and improve their independent living experience, on the other hand independent living program such as learning on how to use personal assistance and other important skills teaches persons with disability the value of independent living. IL peer counselling and
IL program are closely related in that the former complement the latter and vice versa. In this context we will treat the bookkeeping training, Filipino Sign Language (FSL) training, personal assistance service/training and Civil Service exam review as part of advanced independent living program and services.The main objective of this project proposal is to improve the employability of persons with disabilities by conducting advance skills training like bookkeeping NC III, Filipino Sign Language (FSL) certification training program, IL personal assistance program, and comprehensive Civil Service Exam review for qualified persons with disabilities. Other goals are to study the demographics and employment profile of persons with disabilities
to produce a data where possible programs and solutions to unemployment may be proposedto the concerned agencies. The
change the group endeavors to address is the negative perception and discriminatory attitude that prevent or limit the effective
participation and inclusion of persons with disabilities in the workforce. We want to change if not totally remove these barriers to inclusive workplace. The organisation would like to empower persons with disabilities by improving their overall employability and confidence. The group lovesto see the severely disabled as important contributor in the economy and to the society. We must work harder to promote the importance of personal assistance to persons with disabilities to integrate themselves to the mainstream society.-
