This month is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). Observed nationwide every October, NDEAM is a way to celebrate the contributions of workers with disabilities. It also helps organizations across the country to educate others on the value and impact of having a diverse workforce. As this month gets started, be sure to take advantage of the resources available to you on the disabilityworks website of Illinois workNet and elsewhere that can assist you directly:
Autonomy Works is an organization based in Illinois that employs adults with autism. Recently featured in an
episode of 60 Minutes, Autonomy Works helps adults with autism find employment opportunities from training individuals to matching them with jobs based on their talent. To learn more about Autonomy Works including
current hiring needs, visit their website today.
Be sure to check out and participate in upcoming events in Illinois and share with those you know. Visit the
