October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The unemployment rate for people with disabilities is three times higher than people without disabilities. So, helping to break down barriers to employment is more important than ever. We celebrate individuals who have overcome these barriers & businesses who support the mission!

Getting a job that allows you to develop and support yourself financially is a satisfying and life-changing goal, especially when you face barriers to employment that others don't. In honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we share a client story with you about overcoming barriers to achieve great success. Anthony landed a job that’s right for him. We continue to advocate for expanding employment opportunities for people with disabilities & are proud to connect community business partners with the diverse talent represented by the clients we support.
