Creating an
 INCLUSIVE Workforce

Gauri, a child with Down’s Syndrome, a disorder that leads to delay in physical growth, characteristic facial features and learning disability is truly an example of how determination and acceptance of her condition on her part led her to work her way around it. Here is an example of a woman who could achieve a lot because people around her believed in her abilities.

When the future appears uncertain to many, Gauri under the tutelage of her mother never gave up. Her undying spirit and perseverance to overcome obstacles led her to a well-deserved path of self-belief and confidence. Gauri is a Special Olympics World Games 2007, Swimming medalist, Asia Pacific regional special Olympics games, 2013 swimming medalist. She is also open water and a Paralympics swimmer.

Gauri’s feats are not just limited to that, in the meanwhile she completed her graduation successfully, securing an impressive 58 percent in her Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from the famous SP College, in Pune.

Gauri, a resident of Bibwewadi, Pune, traveled the length and breadth of the city for her swimming lessons and managed her job with us, at GTT with a warm smile on her face. She worked with a team of recruiters and training co-ordinators and helped manage the trainees’ documentations required for the training program and their placements. She worked diligently and ensured that she complete her tasks within the stipulated time.

We all dream but few achieve them through sheer willpower and perseverance. Renuka Kedare is one such example.

Hailing from Dehu Road, a small town near Pune, Renuka being a differently-abled girl could not secure a job. However, she never gave in and together with her husband she learnt various skills.

When GTT discovered her, we sought the help of trainers and coaching experts to groom her well to boost her confidence and other relevant skills. We as a team were with her at every stage post her training through the selection process thus ensuring her success at every step of the way.

Renuka is a very cheerful woman full of life. During her training session with us, she was always smiling and way more intuitive and focused than a lot of others. She possessed the right talent for the hospitality industry and zeal to learn whatever she could to earn an honest living. She was good in lip-reading as well and despite being Speech and Hearing Impaired (SHI), she helped other SHI people to interpret what is being said through sign language.

She has been placed in Conrad Hotel, Pune after the training programme. The entire staff was quite helpful. Renuka is currently undergoing on-the-job training with the hotel. What started as a small step towards the journey to attain a job turned out to be a wonderful experience for her.
