In today’s world, pursuing inclusivity and equal opportunities has become paramount. AFA-Accounting and Financial Advisory recognises the importance of diversity, job creation, and work readiness for individuals with disabilities. That’s why we proudly offer the Unemployed Disabled Learnership Programme, a transformative initiative that combines practical work experience, skill development, and a registered qualification with Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA).
AFA believes in the power of diversity. We understand that an inclusive workforce drives innovation, fosters creativity, and encourages fresh perspectives. Our Unemployed Disabled Learnership Programme is designed to break down barriers and provide equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities. By embracing diversity, we create a more inclusive society and a thriving business environment.
Job creation is a key driver of economic growth and social stability. Through our learnership programme, we aim to contribute to creating new employment opportunities. By providing specialized training and practical work experience, we equip learners with the skills they need to succeed in the accounting and finance industry. Our goal is to empower individuals with disabilities and enable them to secure meaningful employment.
Obtaining practical work experience is crucial for career advancement. Our learnership programme goes beyond theoretical knowledge by offering hands-on training and exposure to real-world scenarios. We partner with industry-leading professionals and organizations to provide learners with practical experience, ensuring they are prepared for the challenges of the professional world. This practical exposure builds confidence, enhances problem-solving skills, and strengthens their ability to adapt to dynamic work environments.
AFA’s Unemployed Disabled Learnership Programme goes the extra mile by offering a registered qualification with SETA. This formal recognition adds value to the learners’ professional profile, enhancing their employment prospects and opening doors to a wide range of opportunities. The registered qualification acts as a testament to their dedication, expertise, and commitment to continuous growth and learning.
