Disability Employment Awareness
October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. We applaud the many contributions by individuals with disabilities in our workforce, and work to educate the public on issues encountered by those with disabilities. This year’s theme is: ”America’s Workforce: Empowering All.” Visit, What Can You Do to educate and inspire your team to focus on what each person CAN DO to effect and empower the team as a whole.
