Hosted by Kate Shead, the regional director of Siyakha Consulting, attendees will be able to listen to Hillary Lane, the CEO of the Western Cape Cerebral Palsy Association, share her journey as a person with Cerebral Palsy, with a particular focus on her working career.
The audience will also hear from Anthony Ghillino, the project manager of the QuadPara Association of the Western Cape. Anthony will speak about the reality of living with a mobility impairment and the challenges wheelchairs users face on a daily basis.
The third speaker on the programme is René Minnies from the Cape Mental Health Society. She will provide insight on mental disabilities, one of the most marginalised and misunderstood of all disabilities.
“Siyakha Consulting is a leading disability advisor in South Africa. Through our subsidiary, Siyakha Search and Selection, our recruitment specialists source opportunities for formal employment for people with disabilities across South Africa,” explains Shead.
“As consultants, we have worked with several organisations that represent people with disabilities, to support individuals who are mentally, physically or emotionally impaired in the preparation required for a successful job search,” she adds.
The event will take place Pinelands, Cape Town between 08:30 to 10:30. For more information and to book, contact Loni Hutchison at 021 421 5478 or email
