Kochi, Sept. 10 -- In a bid to promote women's empowerment and financial independence, IBS Software has launched a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative, Futurepoint Cabs, to generate employment opportunities for women in the professional driving sector.
The not-for-profit programme provides free training in driving, soft skills, etiquette, emotional resilience, basic vehicle maintenance, navigation technology and self-defence.
On completion of training, women with valid licences are inducted as drivers. The vehicles are purchased and owned by IBS Software and allotted to certified candidates. So far, two batches have been trained, covering 34 women, of whom 13 have been certified.
