Did you know October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)? NDEAM celebrates the contributions of workers with disabilities and raises awareness about disability employment issues. This year’s theme, “A Strong Workforce is an Inclusive Workforce: What Can YOU Do?” recognizes the many and varied talents of America’s workers with disabilities.

Disability.gov’s Employment section offers a variety of resources that support NDEAM’s mission. For people with disabilities, Disability.gov offers resources that can help with looking for a job, finding career planning and job training opportunities and starting and owning a small business. For employers and human resource specialists, Disability.gov has resources about recruiting and hiring people with disabilities, providing accommodations for employees with disabilities and employment laws and regulations.

Information about tax benefits for employers who hire and retain people with disabilities is also available. State-specific employment information can be found by visiting Disability.gov’s Employment section, choosing “Search State Resources Only,” and then, selecting a state from the map or drop-down menu on the page.

Disability.gov is updated daily to ensure its information is as timely as possible. Recently added employment resources include The American Job Center’s Find a Job website and the Department of Labor’s new Workplace Flexibility Toolkit, which provides resources to help all workers be as productive as possible, so employers can successfully meet their goals.
