dc.description.abstractTransgender community is the most neglected community in our society. They have to face many problems and difficulties starting from their homes and society. They do not get equal opportunities for education, jobs and businesses. They are being discriminated on the basis of their gender. The purpose of this project is to identify the common skills set of the transgender community and how we can help them to enhance their employability. For the purpose of data collection, we have conducted focus group discussions with transgender community to identify the skills set and interview with potential employers to identify the deficiencies in transgender community because of which employers do not prefer to hire them. Transgender people are mostly good in fine and creative work; makeup, cooking, stitching, embroidery, dress designing, acting and dancing. The reasons why employers do not prefer to hire them are; low education level, goodwill, communication and their appearance; their makeup and dressing. To fulfill these deficiencies, KSS will organize and award certifications which are comprised of IT skills for educated people, basic skills; cooking, stitching and makeup for uneducated people and management skills for both educated and uneducated people. These certifications will enhance and validate their skills and will enhance the job opportunities for them. Besides that KSS will also work as bridge between the employers and transgender community to get opportunities for them.en_US
