The skills that were developed during this year were plant production, needlework, crafts and crochet, as well as catering and hospitality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is incredible to see the hope rise in young people, especially those with disabilities, when they find a place that empowers them to reach their full potential. It\u2019s through these amazing young people that we\u2019ll see changed communities,\u201d says Maxie Kamalski, the resource developer from Victory4All.<\/p>\n<p>The mission of this programme is to ensure that people with disabilities will be able to access the workforce, and be able to earn a living and gain independence.<\/p>\n<p>The team from Victory4All, the organisation where the Rainbow Skills Centre programme originated, says,<\/p>\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_d34f55c3\">\n<div class=\"text\">We believe that good education is essential to escape future poverty.
