83 - Jeremy Opperman on Employment and Disability 02 – A Reality Check

Returning to the subject of employment and disability, in this episode inclusion specialist, Jeremy Opperman, and I explore some of the myths that impact on employment. This is the second phase of Jeremy’s tri-nocular perspective model: the human rights lens, which he refers to as the reality check. During our conversation we discuss: 1 the prevalence of disability in society 2 Under-employment of persons with disabilities 3 the perceived lack of skills amongst the disabled sector 4 The danger of stereotyping disability 5 the challenge of accessible transport 6 Physical accessibility 7 The indiscriminate nature of disability Reach out to Jeremy at: Web: www.disabilitydesk.co.za Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-opperman I’d love to hear from you – contact me at Web: https://www.loisstrachan.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/loisstrachanspeaker This episode edited by Craig Strachan using Hindenburg PRO – find out more on Hindenburg.com Credits and music by Charlie Dyasi of Naledi Media.
