Building Futures Through Technology-Driven Skills
At Cheshire Disability Trust (CDT), we believe that access to the right skills can transform lives. The Advanced Tech Training Program is designed to bridge the gap between education and employment for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), particularly those who already possess formal qualifications but lack industry-ready technical and communication skills. With rapid growth in technology-led job opportunities across urban India, many PWDs are unable to fully participate due to limited exposure to advanced tools and workplace expectations. This program addresses that gap by offering specialized, high-quality training aligned with current industry demands.Who We Work With
