National Disability and Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) and Disability Mentoring Day (DMD) Occur Each October
Each October, ACCES-VR has the opportunity to celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) and celebrate the work of all our partners, who join together to make the connection between businesses seeking qualified workers and workers, who just happen to be individuals with abilities.
