ADAPT’s Skill Development Centre (SDC) and Work Training Unit (WTU) are mainly focusing on inclusive employment. Founded on the mainstreaming principles of the International Labour Organization (ILO), ADAPT conducts research to survey the needs of companies, and then does selective training and selective placement in collaboration with the companies, leading to inclusive employment.

Dr. Alur’s vision has always looked beyond manual and semi-skilled options to jobs and careers that would ignite our students’ potential and help them contribute meaningfully, occupying decision-making positions and processes in every organization. Along with specific vocational skills, trainees are also educated in communication skills, functional literacy, work ethics and discipline.

The ADAPT Skills Development center, has constantly endeavoured to create a model of Inclusive Employment that focuses on providing holistic services including education, therapy, socio emotional Development and work preparedness for our youth with disability. This process involves placing our youth for selective training for selective placement at various corporates.

In line with this process, the Skills Development Center arranged an interactive placement event with a corporate, Cinegence Media Pvt Ltd. CineGence VFx offers Visual Effects Pre-Production, Production and Post-Production Services to the Indian and Overseas Film and OTT Clients. Mr.Stephen Mascarenhas, CEO and his five member team visited SDC and presented their work.  Eligible trainees attended the orientation along with their parents for an interactive assessment 

After their assessment for their visual perception, 5 trainees were placed for selective training at Cinegence Media. The company offered a free training on a unique software followed by industrial training with a stipend of 15000 pm. ADAPT team made special efforts to counsel the parents of the trainees for their support to make this a successful venture for them. After the initial successful inclusion of our trainees the company wishes to include more trainees in the near future. 

The SDC team makes a determined effort to place every candidate in an appropriate job, self-employment, open competitive employment, supported employment or through job fairs that bring disabled candidates and potential employers together.

ADAPT explores every possible option to give a person with disability the opportunity to learn, to be challenged, to work towards his or her individual goals and become a contributing member of society.
