Cyber security Academy
South Africa’s youth is an untapped pool of natural cybersecurity talent.
The Absa Cybersecurity Academy has started to tap into this talent pool with very promising results.
Together with the desperate need for in-demand skills development, we believe that Africa has potential and our vision for the Cybersecurity Academy is to bridge the cyber skills gap, locally and globally, by creating opportunities for marginalised youth in South Africa, a goal to which we remain committed – one that empowers the youth in communities through our global award-winning Cybersecurity Academy
Why this handbook exists:
This handbook exists to move inclusive employment from intention to meaningful action.
It’s grounded in real-world experience, drawn from two leading corporates that have successfully employed visually impaired graduates. The handbook offers a clear, practical and empowering guide for any organisation to implement inclusive hiring practices with confidence. By providing step-by-step guidance for both employers and employees, it aims to remove fear and misconceptions from the employment process.
Employers will find the handbook useful to inform thoughtful and sustainable decisions while avoiding common challenges. Equally, it serves as a resource for visually impaired graduates and professionals and equips them with insights to navigate new work environments, integrate effectively and contribute with confidence.
At its core, this handbook champions dignity, productivity and shared accountability.
It reframes inclusivity not as a compliance exercise or moral obligation, but as a powerful competitive advantage and driver of innovation.
