Employment Bureau

Delivering training is only a part of what DST do. We want disabled people to able to support themselves and their families through skilled employment, and to be able to participate as equal members of society. To that end, in 2016 DST opened its Employment Bureau and established the systems and processes for connecting disabled people who have completed their training with employment.

The DST Employment Bureau has good existing relationships with organisations such as the British High Commission, the British Council, and various government departments.

By supporting this ‘end-to-end’ process, we have secured an employment (or further education) for around 75% of our graduates.

In 2017 the DST Employment Bureau was formally recognised by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security through an attestation letter from the Minister, noting that; “As the Ministry responsible for facilitating job creation, we appreciate your initiative and assure you of our support and cooperation in the successful operations of the facility.”

DST is planning to open up its Employment Bureau to non-disabled persons for a small fee, which will be used to contribute to the charitable activities of the organisation.
