October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month
October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month with a purpose to educate individuals about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities.
Held annually, National Disability Employment Awareness Month is led by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy, but its true spirit lies in the many observances held at the grassroots level across the nation every year. Employers of all sizes and in all industries are encouraged to participate in National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
