For President David Weytsman, “inclusion is above all about access to work, training and independence.”
The CPAS of the City of Brussels was awarded the Diversity label this week, granted by the Brussels Region to employers who implement concrete policies promoting equal opportunities, professional integration and the recognition of skills.
This is a first for a CPAS in the Brussels Region. This recognition rewards thorough work to make the CPAS a demanding, responsible employer open to talent regardless of background.
For David Weytsman, President of the CPAS:
“This recognition is above all that of the serious and consistent work of our teams. Our priority is clear: to enable everyone to develop their skills, to integrate lastingly into professional life and to gain independence. Inclusion is not a slogan, it is a concrete policy based on effort, training and responsibility.
What's more, as it happens, this week we welcomed a young MR trainee from Brussels who is accompanied by an assistance dog. This is a first for the CPAS. It shows that when the skills are there, we know how to adapt pragmatically, in the interest of public service.”
