National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)

The Governor’s Council on Disability celebrates October as National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) with this virtual display, providing information and resources to raise awareness about the importance of workplace inclusion of people with disabilities.

Please join us by recognizing the importance of the contributions of people with disabilities to the workforce, and learning about disability history and awareness.

2024 NDEAM Theme: Access to Good Jobs for All

The theme for 2024, ‘Access to Good Jobs for All,’ speaks to the commitment to expand the number and quality of employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Good jobs change lives and all workers including workers with disabilities deserve the opportunity to prepare for success in high-quality, good-paying jobs in workplaces free of discrimination.
