Developing Social Entrepreneurship Skills for Special Needs Students to Improve Their Employability Through Sulam

One of the key objectives of the SULAM project is to empower OKU through vocational training. The project focuses on equipping OKU individuals with practical skills that can help them gain employment and achieve financial independence. The OKUs are trained in various vocational tasks, such as packaging and assembly. The training is tailored to the individual capabilities of each OKU, ensuring that they receive the necessary support and guidance to succeed in the workplace. By offering specific training programs, the project aims to address the barriers that prevent OKU from entering the workforce. This includes training OKU in skills that are in demand in industries like manufacturing, packaging, and services. The project not only provides the technical skills required for employment but also emphasizes the development of soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and discipline as well as the social entrepreneurship skills in project management, communication, and problem-solving, all while working towards the goal of empowering OKU individuals. By participating in this program, students gain hands-on experience in creating solutions for social challenges. They learn how to identify community needs, develop sustainable business models, and implement projects that have a positive social impact.
