Deaf people remain disadvantaged around the world, especially in employment and entrepreneurship. Unemployment rates and economic inequities are much higher for deaf people than other populations, usually because of misconceptions about what they can do, and communication barriers.

EDCI provides opportunities for deaf people to explore aspirations and skills required for successful careers in a rapidly-changing labor market.

Our Approach

EDCI works closely with deaf communities and employers, along with local consultants, to ensure deaf people are offered opportunities to build successful careers, and a foundation to empower communities.

Our communities are supported by local consultants who are experts in local labor market, and networking opportunities.
