Pinoy PWDs get hired via Microsoft’s Enabler Program Share on email The Microsoft Enabler Program, which was launched in September 2020 to pioneer disability inclusive workplaces across Asia-Pacific, has allowed a number of Filipino PWDs (persons with disabilities) to be employed locally. A first of its kind globally, the program provides cloud and AI training for PWDs, accessibility education for employer partners and inclusive hiring from non-profit organizations (NPOs) supporting PWDs. “There are 650 million PWDs in the Asia-Pacific region alone, making accessibility and providing inclusive opportunities absolutely critical,” said Fides Ricasa, Microsoft Philippines chief partner officer. “This is imperative to us as an organization, especially in the world we live in today. Access to digital skills and employment opportunities must be given to every community and individual as we look to rebuild our economies.”
