their lives. One thing that we like about them is that they are ready to
challenge themselves and try to learn different skill sets that are
required in this competitive world. They don’t want people to sympathize
with them. In our study, we found software’s like JAWs have now become
quite essential for banking employees and some face language barrier
while applying for public sector jobs. Hence, we arranged workshops
especially to guide them with software’s that can help them to excel in
their career.”
