Press Room
Twenty-first Annual Statewide National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)
NDEAM is an annual opportunity to recognize businesses (public or private) that have taken steps forward to improve diversity representation in their workplace! Major challenges to the successful employment of qualified people with disabilities are attitudinal barriers and false assumptions about what people can and cannot do. What people with disabilities CAN do is be productive. October has become the month for statewide programs that highlight the abilities and skills of Americans with disabilities and the businesses that recognize this vast pool of talent. Join VESID and its Community Rehabilitation partners as we announce this year's business award winner.
NDEAM's theme for 2009 is: "Expectation + Opportunity = Full Participation".
The statewide calendar lists the events. For more details about events please contact the listed VESID contact person in your area.
