**Function/Department**

At Mann, we partner with a diverse range of organizations (cutting across sectors and industries) to offer mainstream employment opportunities to our students. The unique skills and abilities of our students make them well-suited for roles involving repetitive tasks. Furthermore, multiple studies show that employing people with disabilities results in reliable, motivated employees who contribute tangible business advantages and foster inclusive workplace cultures, attracting desirable talent. Employees with disabilities also tend to be highly loyal and committed, resulting in remarkably low attrition rates. The Mainstream Employment training function offers timely, supportive training to our students using a variety of training methodologies and techniques thereby making them job-ready for mainstream hiring.

The Trainer (Mainstream Employment) will report into the Coordinator who in turn reports into Manager level.
