OCTOBER Is National Disability Employee Awareness Month

It is a time to recognize the contributions of Americans with disabilities and to encourage all citizens to ensure equal opportunity in the workforce. It is a time to recognize that people with disabilities have equal or higher job retention, lower absenteeism, and that their job performance is equal to their non-disabled counterparts. It is a time to urge employers to hire persons with disabilities. How can you do this? Call at 888-503-7955 or email us at info@maysmission.org and we will be happy to send you free brochures like on “On-the-Job Training”, which you can share with employers in your area. These brochures were printed by employees with disabilities here at Mays Mission and they would appreciate your advocacy.
