Celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month

This month, we are celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), a dedicated time each October to honor and celebrate the remarkable contributions of America’s workers with disabilities, both past and present. NDEAM is a platform for recognizing their resilience, achievements, and the positive impact they bring to workplaces across the nation. This month also encourages the promotion of supportive and inclusive employment policies that not only benefit individuals with disabilities but also contribute to the overall success of employers and the workforce.

We invite you to explore the resources we’ve curated to foster understanding, awareness, and inclusivity. Discover inspiring stories, learn about the importance of diversity in the workplace, and access valuable tools to promote equal opportunities for everyone.
