Governor McMaster Proclaims
October 2019
as Disability Employment Awareness Month!
How will YOU celebrate this month?
The South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster proclaimed that people with disabilities are capable, contributing members of society, worthy of full access and inclusion in South Carolina's workforce. Let's come together to show all of South Carolina that people with disabilities can work and want to work! Share what employment means to you on social media using the hashtag #NDEAM.
Held each October, National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), aims to educate the public about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities. NDEAM is led by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), but its true spirit lies in the many observances held at the grassroots level across the nation every year. Learn how you can support NDEAM by visiting the ODEP website here.
Staff from the governor's office will be reading the proclamation tomorrow at Hire Me SC's fourth annual Employer Summit. The summit will convene HR directors and employers with experts in disability, diversity and inclusion to talk about hiring and retaining people with disabilities. What better way to kick off Disability Employment Awareness Month?
