PanARMENIAN.Net - Within the frameworks "International Week of Education" and International Month of Disabled People, VivaCell-MTC representatives have today received 50 university students with special needs. Meeting aims to promote employment opportunities, enabling students to apply their knowledge in their future work with company.



Considering their personal experience, VivaCell-MTS employees encouraged guests to never give way to despair, and to continue knocking on employers' doors, because they strongly believe everything becomes possible in case of having desire, faith and self-confidence.



"Yes, people with disabilities need certain support, but not - compassion. Today, they are proud to work in a leading company like this and earn money to meet their and their families' needs. This helps them become independent, enjoy respect and be self-confident. They need to be given a chance to live a full life, without being isolated from the society," VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian said.
