DDS Soft Skill Training Program Empowering Persons with Disabilities Through Personal and Professional Growth The Disabled Development Society (DDS) recognizes that building technical ability alone is not enough to ensure long-term success for persons with disabilities. To foster greater inclusion and self-reliance, DDS implements the Soft Skill Training Program—an initiative aimed at equipping disabled individuals with the interpersonal, cognitive, and communication skills necessary for personal development, workplace readiness, and leadership. Program Objectives The primary goal of DDS’s Soft Skill Training is to enhance the capacity of disabled persons to engage confidently in education, employment, social interaction, and community leadership. These trainings help bridge the often-overlooked gap between hard skills and real-world success. Key Soft Skills Covered Target Groups Training Approach Impact Participants report increased confidence, better interaction in group settings, improved interview skills, and greater readiness for workplace integration. Many beneficiaries have gone on to secure jobs, lead advocacy groups, or start small businesses with the added support of these soft skills.
