Siyakhula EE and Diversity Capacity Development scheduled sessions


Invitation to join Siyakhula EE and Diversity Capacity Development scheduled sessions.

“Siyakhula" means “we grow"in isiXhosa. The Employment Equity and Diversity Capacity Development Programme at Human Resources aims to equip staff to model, guide and support equity strategies, inclusion and staff wellbeing. The content and facilitation methods are developed and updated in partnership with the Equality Unit, the Transformation Office and the Disability Unit.

Many staff requested opportunities to attend centrally organized sessions and we have now opened a list of schedules opportunities for staff to join. There are 43 available opportunities listed below:
