BConnected to champion disability-inclusive hiring with dedicated employer engagement event

IN a bold and necessary step towards transforming Sri Lanka's recruitment landscape, BConnected has announced a dedicated initiative under the banner Disability-Inclusive Hiring, Simplified.

- 

Set to take place on 31 July, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Institute of Bankers of Sri Lanka, this full-day event is designed to give organisations the opportunity to meet and engage directly with work-ready persons with disabilities.

This effort forms part of the broader BEmpowered program, 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 program works to remove longstanding barriers to employment and shift how disability inclusion is understood and practiced across industries.
