Furthermore, the department has also developed the Job Access Strategic Framework on the Recruitment, Employment and Retention of Persons with Disabilities in the Public Service, which became operational on 1 April 2009. This strategic framework is a Public Service initiative aimed at accelerating the recruitment and employment of persons with disabilities in the Public Service. It also seeks to ensure that issues pertaining to disabilities are mentioned in the Public Service. So, the Department of Public Service and Administration is currently embarking on the roll-out workshops, both nationally and provincially.
