National Disability Employment Awareness Month 2023

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. See our NDEAM 2023 webpage here to learn more.

At the national level, the Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy’s campaign theme for 2023 is “Advancing Access and Equity.” You can visit ODEP’s NDEAM website here to learn more.

Join us throughout October as we advocate for the competitive, integrated employment of people with disabilities.

Use the hashtag #NDEAM on social media.
