National Disability Employment Awareness Month 2024

National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is an annual, month-long event which celebrates the important role people with disabilities play in a diverse and inclusive American workforce and recognizes the contributions of workers with disabilities. NDEAM also provides a time to showcase employers with supportive, inclusive employment policies and practices.

The Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy’s (ODEP) campaign theme for 2024 is “Access to Good Jobs for All.” You can visit ODEP’s NDEAM website here to learn more.

Join us throughout October – and all year long – as we advocate for the competitive, integrated employment of people with disabilities.

The poster is rectangular in shape and features a collage of six photos of diverse people with a range of disabilities working in various inclusive workplaces. These photos appear in colored circles against a blue-sky background. Underneath the photos on a white background is a graphic image of a black, winding road leading up to them. To the side of the road, the words “Access to Good Jobs for All” and “National Disability Employment Awareness Month” appear. In the upper right corner, “#NDEAM” and “dol.gov/odep” are displayed. In the lower right corner is the DOL seal with the words “Office of Disability Employment Policy, United States Department of Labor” next to it.
