UTLOOK
The prospective growth for the future is to take the organisation to other provinces within South Africa. The product is
sound and there is a need as research has been done. The biggest issue is a lack of finances to take the project further.
Some time in the next 5 years we are hoping to expand to Cape Town. Partnerships within the world of employment are
constantly being explored. The Living Link has been in operation since 2000. Over the years the training course has been
adapted to benefit intellectually disabled students through the training and job sampling that is offered.
