Six months of accessible digital skills training for people with disabilities, ending in supported placement with employers who have committed to hiring.
Rs 46,000 covers one participant’s training, assistive technology and placement support.
1 March 2026 – 28 February 2027
Unemployment among people with disabilities in Mauritius is not principally a skills problem, but skills are the part we can address directly — and the part employers point at when explaining why they did not hire.
This programme runs six months of digital skills training in a fully accessible setting: office and productivity software, data handling, customer support tooling, and the assistive technology each participant needs to use them. It ends with supported placement, and with the employer-side work that decides whether a placement becomes a job — accessibility audits, manager briefings, and follow-up for six months after the start date.
Thirty-five places per cohort, two cohorts per year.
Demo content — an illustrative sample project, not an actual programme of this organisation.
Nineteen of the thirty-two participants from the last cohort are in work six months after placement. That is the highest we have recorded, and the difference is almost entirely on the employer side — the four companies that took the accessibility audit seriously account for most of the retained placements.
Applications for the March cohort open next week.
