October is a special time of year for us at the Department of Labor. If you’ve been following this blog in recent weeks, you may already know why; It’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Managed by our Office of Disability Employment Policy, this annual observance celebrates the contributions of workers with disabilities and educates Americans about the value of a diverse workforce that welcomes everyone’s skills and talents. In other words, it’s all about inclusion.
As part of our all-encompassing program at the DirectEmployers 2015 Annual Meeting & Conference (DEAM15) this past May, we had the honor of having Josh Christianson and Joiwind Ronen from the Partnership on Employment & Accessible Technology (PEAT) speak to our attendees. The goal of their session? To help attendees understand the importance of accessibility in widening their diverse talent pool.
