Every October, the United States celebrates National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). This month recognizes the important contributions of people with disabilities in the workforce and promotes fair hiring practices.
The theme for this year is “Access to Good Jobs for All.” This theme focuses on making sure every individual has the chance to find fulfilling jobs. When companies offer equal access to jobs, they create better workplaces and help our communities grow stronger.
Despite some progress, many people with disabilities still face challenges when looking for jobs. JEVS is dedicated to creating a workplace that values all employees, including those with disabilities. Through programs such as the JEVS Independence Network, hireAbility, Community Participation, and Assistive Technology Services, we support adults with disabilities in gaining meaningful employment. We work with employer partners who promote inclusion and support the needs of all employees.
NDEAM is a time to reflect on how we can better support employees with disabilities. With the theme of “Access to Good Jobs for All,” we emphasize the importance of creating opportunities for everyone.
Let’s continue to acknowledge the valuable contributions of people with disabilities and build workplaces where everyone succeeds.
