October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). As this month gets started, be sure to take advantage of the resources Illinois workNet has that can assist you directly, or assist you as you continue your work with individuals with disabilities:
NDEAM is observed nationwide every October! Mark your calendar for next year to make sure you participate in events in Illinois and share with those you know. NDEAM is a way to celebrate the contributions of workers with disabilities and it also helps organizations across the country educate others on the value and impact of a diverse workforce. Organizations, employers, friends, and family should all help to spread this message.
