Marketing Brochure Workshops for people with disabilities Western Cape Municipal Areas Central Karoo City of Cape Town Eden Overberg West Coast Winelands Cape Town 2 Forward Protective workshops were first established with the purpose of providing rehabilitation services and work opportunities for persons with disabilities who due to the nature of their disability were experiencing barriers in accessing the open labour market. The establishment of these workshops was seen as one of the measures to advance the independent living of persons with disabilities within their local communities. Presently, there are 42 workshops in Western Cape, providing a variety of training and work opportunities to approximately 3 022 people with disabilities. The Department of Social Development has embarked on a process in partnership with the NGO sector, to transform and support protective workshops into economically viable units. The purpose of this brochure is therefore to assist to market products of the protective workshops as well as their ability to take on work contracts. The paradigm shift aimed at the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the mainstream of all spheres of society, including the world of work, has posed a challenge to workshops. The drive to create more job opportunities for people with disabilities in the labour market puts challenges on the workshops to be proactive in training and preparing them to take advantage of the available opportunities. The challenge is further to provide more financial rewarding work to those who cannot access the open labour market. However, protective workshops cannot meet these challenges in their own as they are often struggling with inadequate resources and support from public at large. I urge the business sector, government departments and public at large to seriously consider how they can support the workshops in an attempt to meet the challenges mentioned above. Some of the suggested possibilities could be: ! Sponsor training programmes ! Enter into work contracts ! Assist with capacity building through sharing their knowledge, experience and expertise with the protective workshops ! Facilitate access to opportunities and information ! Purchasing the workshop products I further extend a word of gratitude to all, including people with disabilities who have made a meaningful contribution to workshops towards their sustainability.
