October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) encourages businesses and organizations across the country to participate.
Held annually, NDEAM raises awareness about disability employment topics and celebrates the many and varied contributions of America’s workers with disabilities. Although national in scope, NDEAM’s true spirit lies in the many observances held at the grassroots level. Employers of all sizes and in all industries can take part.
Progress is proud to support National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) P.I.'s Supported Employment program assists people with disabilities find meaningful jobs in the community and helps employers find and keep skilled and dedicated employees. We thank and recognize the numerous businesses in Newton and surrounding Jasper County communities for being inclusive employers and partners for our PROGRESS.
