“Our disabled college students are suitable for all positions. For those with hearing disabilities, as long as they wear an electronic cochlea, their hearing is as good as that of ordinary people. Visually disabled individuals can also achieve the effect of working without obstacles through this screen reading software and other software”, Xu Jing, Deputy Director of Jiangsu Disabled Persons' Employment Management Center, said.
“I submitted two resumes. I have a level 4 visual impairment, which has a certain impact on my life and work, but this impact can be completely overcome”, Xu Qi, an undergraduate majoring in secretarial studies at the School of Literature, Soochow University, said.
Jiangsu recorded 1118 disabled students graduating from universities this year. Disabled persons' federations across the province have organized extensive employment training and career planning guidance for disabled college graduates, as well as online and offline employment fairs for disabled graduates.
