JOB-ABLED’s recycling project empowers individuals with disabilities—especially those without Grade 10—through meaningful work and skills development. By expanding operations, we aim to boost employment, sustainability, and community upliftment. Located on school properties, these safe spaces support disabled youth, unemployed locals, and parents who can contribute to school fees with recyclables.

JOB-ABLED runs an 8-month job shadowing program at corporate companies, equipping youth with disabilities with hands-on experience and a pathway to permanent employment. By bridging the gap between education and the workforce, the program empowers participants to build meaningful careers.
Companies currently offering job shadowing include McDonald’s, B4Fire, MyPlas (Pty) Ltd, Botelary Motors, and Quality Cain.
