As indicated in the reply to Question No. 588 of 4 April 2006, my Department currently exceeds the Government's 3% target for the employment of people with disabilities. In addition, my Department has agreed to take part in the Willing Able Mentoring (WAM) project. This project aims to give between 3-6 months quality work experience to graduates with disabilities.
