Reaching out, hiring trained differently-abled persons
View(s):BConnected has announced a dedicated initiative under the banner “Disability-Inclusive Hiring, Simplified” set to take place on July 31 at the Institute of Bankers of Sri Lanka, Colombo. This full-day event is designed to give organisations the opportunity to meet and engage directly with work-ready persons with disabilities, the organisers said in a media release.
This effort forms part of the broader BEmpowered programme, launched in September 2024 by BConnected, which aims to close the gap between training and meaningful employment for individuals with disabilities. Through skills development, awareness building, and practical connection points with the private sector, the programme works to remove long-standing barriers to employment and shift how disability inclusion is understood and practiced across industries. “We’ve seen first-hand how much ability goes unseen,” shares Felicia Adhihetty, Managing Director, BConnected. “These candidates have already done the hard part. They’ve trained. They’ve persevered. Now they are simply waiting to be seen, heard, and valued for who they are and what they can do. This event is about dignity, and about showing companies that inclusive hiring doesn’t have to be complicated. It just has to start somewhere.”
Adding strength to the initiative, Solutions Ground Pvt Ltd, an international boutique consultancy known for its work in leadership development and workforce transformation, has volunteered to serve as the official implementing partner. The firm brings its expertise in training, facilitation, and personal coaching to ensure the experience is both seamless and impactful. “This is who we are,” said Lakshan Madurasinghe, CEO and Founder of Solutions Ground. “We are proud to create this experience for those who have the talent but have never had access. For many of these individuals, all they’ve ever needed is a single opportunity to begin. This event is designed to be that turning point, and become a chance to open the door to careers, confidence, and the recognition they deserve.”
