On October 7, we celebrated Disability Mentoring Day nationwide with Bender Leadership Academy. This event promoted career development for students with disabilities through hands-on exploration. Continuing the celebration, on October 16, UPMC will proudly host students with disabilities at UPMC Mercy Hospital in partnership with the Bender Leadership Academy. For over 16 years, UPMC has supported this event in Western Pennsylvania, with the Center for Engagement and Inclusion leading the initiative for the past four years. Our commitment aligns with the mission of Disability Mentoring Day: enhancing career opportunities for people with disabilities and making disability a central component of diversity recruitment. As we embrace this year’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month theme, Access to Good Jobs for All, we remain dedicated to fostering an inclusive workforce where individuals with disabilities are valued contributors. Together, we are creating life-changing medicine. #DisabilityMentoringDay #Inclusion #LifeChangingMedicine #UPMC #Diversity #NDEAM2024
