Vir Marius Erasmus, hoof van die Alta du Toit-skool in Kuilsrivier, l\u00ea werkskepping vir gestremdes baie na aan die hart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erasmus, wat reeds 23 jaar ervaring as skoolhoof by skole vir leerders met spesiale behoeftes het, is die medestigter van Job-abled, \u2019n gebruikersvriendelike platform wat gestremdes help om werk te vind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Job-abled is onlangs by die SAB-stigting se jaarlikse toekennings in die kategorie vir bemagtiging van gestremdes (disability empowerment) as naaswenner aangewys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die SAB-stigting se gestremdheidsbemagtigings-program is gemik op innoveerders, maatskaplike entrepreneurs, organisasies en ondernemings, wat innoverende oplossings vir gestremdes bied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die toekennings bied ondersteuning deur finansiering \u2013 R1,3 miljoen vir die wenners en R950 000 vir naaswenners, asook doelgerigte mentorskap en sakeontwikkeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erasmus vertel Job-abled maak gebruik van Jobjack as platform. Heine Bellingan en Christiaan van den Berg is die medestigters en direkteure van Jobjack, \u2019n toepassing (app<\/em>) wat in 2018 bekendgestel is as \u2019n platform om werksoekers en werkgewers maklik met mekaar te verbind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Erasmus s\u00ea Job-abled is soos \u2019n onder-afdeling van Jobjack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn \u2019n stadium op die platform (Jobjack) sal dit vra of jy \u2019n gestremdheid het. As jy s\u00ea \u2018ja\u2019, dan doen jy die gestremde deel (Job-abled).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Job-abled is in 2019 begin. Erasmus s\u00ea dit het gekom nadat hy \u2019n insetsel oor Jobjack op TV-nuus gesien het. \u201cEk het gesien wat hulle doen en hulle toe gaan besoek. Ek het vir hulle (Heine en Christiaan) ges\u00ea hulle moet gestremdes ook insluit, en hulle was gewillig om dit te doen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Erasmus se belangstelling in die platform spruit uit sy jare lange ervaring by spesiale skole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns kinders het baie goeie vaardighede. Hulle leer baie goeie praktiese vaardighede aan, soos houtwerk en leerwerk. Die vraag wat die ouers altyd vra, is: \u2018wat doen my kind nou n\u00e1 skool?\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het altyd vir hulle ges\u00ea, maar hulle (die leerders) het goeie vaardighede; dit is maklik om werk te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaar die navorsing het gewys dat die meeste leerders by spesiale skole nie kan bekostig om aansoek (vir werk) te doen nie. As jy jou papier-CV vat en jy gaan na vyf plekke toe, kos die vervoer en alles jou gemiddeld R800,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die outomatisering van die proses deur \u2019n toepassing sny die onkostes en maak dit meer toeganklik, verduidelik Erasmus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie maatskappye laai hul poste op, dan skep jy (die werksoeker) \u2019n profiel aan die ander kant. Deur algoritmes gee ons vir die maatskappy \u2019n kortlys van vyf kandidate.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Daar is dus geen rompslomp met gedrukte CV\u2019s of onnodige vervoerkostes nie, maar dit is net die een kant van die Job-abled-prentjie, s\u00ea Erasmus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie ander kant is die korporasies wat ons by skole stig. Ons het groentetuine, leerwerk, marimba-orkeste en doen herwinning. Dit is projekte wat ons skep vir \u2019n skool, dan plant ons dit by ander skole ook. Dit skep ook werk; dit gaan alles oor werkskepping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Erasmus s\u00ea nie \u2019n sent van die R950 000 sal deur enige van die individue betrokke by Job-abled se bankrekenings gaan nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie SAB stel \u2019n sake-afrigter aan. Hulle kyk na jou sakeplan en pas dit aan. Dan betaal hul die fondse uit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAlles gaan aan die projek en wat nodig is om dit vorentoe te vat \u2013 op groter skaal. Hulle gaan nou vir vyf jaar \u2019n pad saam met ons loop,\u201d verduidelik hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die SAB-stigting maak sedert die 2010-toekennings jaarliks toekennings aan entrepreneurs in die veld van maatskaplike innovering en sedert 2016 vir gestremdheidsbemagtiging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens die stigting fokus die toekennings op innoveerders met die doel om volhoubare besighede te verseker wat werk skep om sodoende maatskaplike verbetering in gemeenskappe te weeg te bring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vanjaar is 18 finaliste n\u00e1 vier rondes van beoordeling deur kenners vanuit die regering, die burgerlike samelewing en die private sektor uit sowat 1 000 aansoeke aangewys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die wenners is op Donderdag 12 Oktober by \u2019n geleentheid in Johannesburg aangekondig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Luvuyo Sume en Riaan Knight, stigters van Prosthetic Engineering Technologies in Gqeberha) wat \u2019n beskermde silikoonkous vir prostese ontwerp het, het die kategorie vir gestremdheidsbemagtiging gewen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bridget Evans, uitvoerende hoof van die SAB-stigting, s\u00ea hul fokus is om sakeondernemings te ondersteun wat produkte, dienste, sakemodelle en prosesse ontwikkel het wat maatskaplike uitdagings aanpak, maar terselfdertyd ook \u2019n volhoubare sakemodel het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die Alta du Toit-skool het in \u2019n boodskap op sy Facebook-blad ges\u00ea die skool is baie trots op hul hoof se merkwaardige prestasie, wat hulle weet die gevolg van baie harde werk en vasberadenheid is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vir Marius Erasmus, hoof van die
