Access Technology is a social entrepreneurship that solves the problem of low employability rate of people with disabilities (PWD) in the city of Lima. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI), 10.4% of Peruvians have some type of disability (INEI, 2014, p. 9) and only 39.6% of that group has a job (INEI, 2015). However, 40% of workers receive a salary lower than the national living wage and 73.2% work in positions that are not adapted to their needs (INEI, 2014). This initiative will provide PWD (with vision, moving, walking, and hearing disabilities) access to quality education and a chance to apply for a job in the technology sector. Thereby, they will be able to achieve their economic independence and improve their quality of life. To achieve this, a specialized training program (bootcamp) in technology is created. This is where the student will become a specialist in one of the following profiles: ux/ui designer, front-end developer, back end developer, and accessibility quality assurance tester. There are many reasons to explain why Access Technology is an innovative, desirable, viable and sustainable solution. Firstly, PWCD will be able to acquire a student loan, carry out an internship and apply their knowledge in technology companies during their training. They will then prepare and assume a job position within a maximum period of 6 months. This is a scalable and exponential initiative because model businesses can extend to other regions of Peru and more vulnerable populations. Secondly, 83% of the PWD interviewed are willing to sign a student agreement accepting the cost of the bootcamp. Thirdly, the project has a VANF that exceeds one million dollars in the eighth year, and a TIRF of 44.95%. Finally, it will impact the lives of 2,548 PWD since they will be part of the economically active population (EAP), and at the same time it will impact on 2 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
