Oracle conducts PeopleSoft HCM Workshop in Hyderabad

Oracle Academy, in association with L V Prasad Eye Institute, SAKSHAM and EnAble India, organized a four-day workshop in Hyderabad for the blind/partially blind students to train them in HR software solutions. The workshop helped 7 undergraduate and postgraduate students learn the use of Oracle PeopleSoft HCM applications. The solution help companies recruit and manage talent as well as accurately forecast future workforce needs.

This workshop has equipped these students with the required skills needed to pursue entry-level positions such as business analyst, recruiter, payroll, on-boarding, exit functions within the HR department of a company.

Oracle used modern adaptive technologies such as screen reading software to help students interpret what is being displayed on the screen. Students were provided with supporting reference material in Braille. It is estimated that a large segment of people with various disabilities are either unemployed or not satisfied with career development services and training opportunities provided to them. The need of the hour is to adopt new methodologies and technologies to improve the quality of education and employment for these individuals. The Oracle PeopleSoft HCM workshop was a step in this direction and aimed to improve access to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education for students with visual impairments.
