J-Kom Education and Training Division director, Mohamad Husni Ab Aziz, said that persons with disabilities were among those who were most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, thus limiting their ability to generate income. “If we look at the issues and challenges faced by the disabled community now, one is to get job opportunities. For these individuals, based on the study conducted, the higher their level of education, the harder it is to get a job due to stigma and perception among employers.
Husni said that J-Kom would also help the community by providing a platform and opportunities for their voices to be heard, besides raising awareness of employment opportunities.
