Each October we celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) to acknowledge the contributions of people with disabilities in the workplace and to raise awareness about equal rights to employment.

This year's NDEAM theme is "Access to Good Jobs for All". Good jobs change lives, and all workers -- including those with disabilities -- deserve the opportunity to obtain and succeed in them.

WVU CED Employment Services connects job-seeking clients with disabilities to the businesses that hire them in order to find the perfect match. They work one-on-one with individuals to help them prepare for employment and find the right job.
