Access to self development and economic empowerment
TAI starts where many others stop, addressing the root-cause of poverty and exclusion: lack of opportunity.
We challenge the narrative of persons with disabilities as a powerless burden to society.
We offer them professional training, employment and income opportunities in their path
towards self-reliance, economic empowerment and inclusion.
Vocational Training
In Africa persons with disabilities of working age often have no marketable skills.
We provide to our beneficiaries Vocational Training in certified centres, leading to their increased employability. We ensure that our Training offer is in line with market demand by identifying together with employers the most needed skills for available jobs. We make sure that the Training offer is adjusted to the various levels of education of our beneficiaries.
Support to Employment
Even with professional skills, persons with disabilities in Africa are often subject to barriers in accessing formal employment due to their stereotyped image (and self-image) as weak and unfit to work.
Together with our partners, we make sure that professional skills developed in trainings translate into jobs: we support our beneficiaries in their job search with coaching on CV writing, interview techniques, and soft skills development. In addition, we train employers on the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the workforce and we actively pursue their job outplacement in the companies in our network.
Micro Enterprise Management Training
Our certified ILO SIYB staff train young entrepreneurial persons with disability in generating business ideas, planning a Micro Enterprise, managing and growing a small business.
Equipped with professional and business management skills, they are ready to start their Micro Enterprise adventure.
Micro Enterprise Coaching and Financing
We invest in persons with disabilities - especially young adults - with entrepreneurial talent who want to set-up an income generating activity.
We grant them access to microcredit and microgrants, and we coach them during the start-up and growth of their Micro Enterprise.
