The sheltered workshop provides students with disabilities a pathway to financial independence, as well as working on their strengths. This is especially suited for youth with multiple disabilities and children with moderate to severe intellectual disability.

At the sheltered workshop, students are given training on various skills such as making jute bags, floor mats, wooden crafts, paper cups, and paper jewellery. There is also a bakery that is run by Satya’s youth.

Students who have mild to moderate disability are encouraged to find open employment where possible. Toward this end, Satya provides integrated training on employability skills, including interpersonal communication, basic numeracy, hygiene, and etiquette, and constantly seeks partnerships to enable inclusive hiring practices.

Our partnerships with various industries, social enterprises, and other NGOs have made employment possible for many of our students. In some cases, the students have used their employability skills to work in a more efficient way.

Satya has had several successful partnerships with organizations, to encourage inclusion of youth with disabilities through employment. Several of our students have undergone courses in housekeeping and graphic designing at Swami Vivekananda Rural Community College. Satya also partnered with Youth4Jobs to provide employment opportunities to youth with disabilities.

If your organization would like to partner with Satya in livelihoods, please email partnerships@satyaspecialschool.org
