US Embassy hosts job preparation training for persons with disabilities

The US Embassy, in collaboration with the Guyana Council of Organizations for Persons with Disabilities (GCOPD), has facilitated a job preparation training for persons with disabilities.
The virtual nine-week training provided participants with the practical knowledge and resources to be proactive in their job search, and be successful in acquiring jobs.
Ambassador Lynch has said of the training, “We are committed to promoting the role of persons with disabilities in creating a prosperous Guyana. This training is part of our ongoing partnership with talented and capable individuals who simply want the same opportunities as everyone else.”
During the training, 19 participants were exposed to resumé writing, interview preparation, networking, and examining their strengths and skillsets to realise their true potential as afforded under the Guyana Disability Act of 2010. The course curriculum will be used for future training in collaboration with GCOPD and other interested stakeholders.
The programme is part of the US Embassy’s ongoing work to encourage prosperity for all Guyanese.
