UCP Celebrates National Disability Employment Awareness Month

Every October, we celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). NDEAM was established through decades of advocacy by individuals and organizations pushing for equal rights and opportunities for people with disabilities. This advocacy led to the creation of laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and policies that promote inclusive workplaces.

Each year, NDEAM has a unique theme, with the 2024 theme, “Access to Good Jobs for All,” focusing on continuing efforts to break down barriers in employment and ensure meaningful opportunities for workers with disabilities across all industries.
