Abstract

The digital revolution has profoundly reshaped the global workforce, presenting both unprecedented opportunities and significant challenges for marginalized populations. For persons with disabilities, who have historically faced systemic barriers to employment and economic self-suffi ciency, the integration of technology into vocational training offers a transformative pathway toward greater socio-economic inclusion. This literature review synthesizes existing research to explore the impact of digital-age vocational training on livelihood enhancement for the disabled. The paper examines the evolution from traditional training models to technology-enabled frameworks, including e-learning platforms, virtual reality simulations, and the use of assistive technologies that customize the learning experience.
