Offer to be a Workplace Mentor
Through our half-day mentoring experience, businesses can host job seekers with disabilities who are exploring career opportunities. It is a meaningful way to connect with potential employees, see their skills firsthand, and invest in a highly qualified workforce.
Host a Job Provider Meeting
Open your doors to the professionals helping people with disabilities find meaningful employment. By hosting a Job Provider meeting, your business can offer a behind-the-scenes look at your operations, share information about current job openings, and connect directly with the community members who support job seekers every day.
Get Involved in National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)
Join us each October as we celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month—a time to spotlight the contributions of workers with disabilities and promote their value and talents. Throughout the month, EDR hosts special trainings, events, and awareness campaigns designed to educate, inspire, and empower. Whether you are an employer, advocate, or community member, there is a role for you in this important celebration.
