FW: Cisco hiring ppl with disabilities
Hi All,
My manager is the lead for the CDAN program ie Cisco disabled action network.
This year they wanted to hire about 30 disabled /challenged ppl but they were able to hire only 2 since they are having a tough time finding resumes.
So if you know anybody who is disabled /challenged please let me know so that I can let my manager know.
If the person has a engineering or a diploma degree then irrespective of his college or percentage he has a high chances of getting.
Even if the candidate does not have a diploma they are still open to consider since there are various other job positions.
Regards,
Akshata

Across regions and countries, GHI scores vary greatly. The highest GHI scores occur in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. South Asia reduced its GHI score substantially between 1990 and 1996, but this fast progress could not be maintained. Though Sub-Saharan Africa made less progress than South Asia after 1990, it has caught up since the turn of the millennium.
