“We engaged with a diverse range of stakeholders – from people with disabilities already in the workforce to training organisations, food retailers and café owners. To make it work, we had to drill down to the minute detail. I remember sitting in the office discussing with Council what the café menu would be, where the food would be sourced from, the opening hours, even the number of forks the café would need,” said Ms Callinan.
“It was a very special project. I personally found it very rewarding knowing the café would showcase the abilities of the trainee staff and create real opportunities for future employment” she said.
