Creating Pathways to Inclusive Employment
The Nation Forum of Women with Disabilities (NFWD) is proud to celebrate a meaningful collaboration with Hilton Colombo Residences, creating new opportunities for young people with disabilities to explore careers in the hospitality industry.
Following their hotel training programme, more than 20 aspiring young individuals participated in a career guidance session, gained practical exposure to hotel operations, and attended job interviews. We are delighted that several candidates have been identified for internship opportunities in the Housekeeping and Pastry teams, marking an important step towards inclusive employment and professional growth.
Ms. Rasanjali Pathirage, Founder President and CEO of NFWD, expressed her appreciation for this valuable partnership, highlighting the importance of creating pathways for young people with disabilities to access equal opportunities, build confidence, and realise their potential.
NFWD extends its heartfelt gratitude to Hilton Colombo Residences and Ms. Venya Jayasekara for their commitment, support, and contribution towards building a more inclusive workforce.
Together, we can move beyond inclusion as a principle and turn it into meaningful opportunities, dignity, and economic independence for persons with disabilities.
Inclusive employment creates a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
