We have made arrangements with some of the multinational companies in Pakistan to participate in our vocational training program for our older deaf students. In many cases, this is the first program of its kind for these companies, and all have expressed interest in expanding their participation.

Students are also taught how to do resumes, and then encouraged to use these along with a form letter to apply for jobs they are able to research. (This means that they themselves go out and have to do the leg work to try to find a job.) Then when a student gets a response from a potential employer, FESF steps in to supply letters of recommendation and other needed data for the employers.
