Yazan Basel, a person of determination, has just completed an international vocational certificate and is studying for another one, but he is already excited about exploring the job market.

Yazan was one of over 30 students of determination who attended the 1st employment fair for people of disabilities to be organised by the Masarat Center for Development and Empowerment of the Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services. The fair, which saw 13 entities accepting the resumes of eager applicants, was held under the patronage of Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI).

“I met a few companies here and they asked me questions about what I like to do and where I live. I’m still studying but I hope I get a job. I love to organise things,” said Yazan.

His friend Seoud Mohammed said that he studied self-development with Masarat and is now doing vocational studies. “I love to organise files and use the computer. The companies I met, asked me if I wanted to work and I said I did because I love dealing with people and helping them,”
