Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM) promotes employment inclusion and increased participation of workers with disabilities in Alberta’s economy. DEAM celebrates the contributions of workers with disabilities and supports employers in practicing inclusive hiring.

Every October, community stakeholders and the Government of Alberta partner to deliver activities and events around the province that:

▶ increase the employment opportunities for people with a disability within Alberta’s business community

▶ increase employer engagement, build business strength and capacity, and raise awareness around the recruitment and retention of people with a disability

▶increase inclusion through collaboration by connecting service providers, Indigenous organizations, government and businesses

▶highlight employers who demonstrate a strong commitment to inclusion and diversity, and encourage other employers to embrace their recruitment strategies

▶help create a more consistent message from service providers when engaging employers to hire people with a disability

The theme for DEAM 2025 is “Authenticity in Action”.
