Skills, INC and its subsidiary OBX-Skeeter Be**er had a great time enjoying the Edenton Steamers and meeting the community members to talk about individuals with disabilities.

Some great baseball was watched and even greater conversations with people on the impact of having family and loved ones with disabilities and how to allow them to gain their financial independence. Skills, INC is proud to offer these services both in education and training courses but also with being the largest employer of individuals with disabilities in the area.

Thank you for all that stopped by to share your stories and allow us to talk about ourselves and our programs.

Americans observe National Disability Employment Awareness by paying tribute to the accomplishments of the men and women with disabilities whose work helps keep the nation’s economy strong and by reaffirming their commitment to ensure equal opportunity for all citizens.

Skills is a proud supporter of the Edenton Steamers and all of our partners in bringing awareness to individuals with disabilities that work and are seeking work in our community.

While joining us tonight to enjoy the Steamer's game, stop by our booth and let us tell you about the amazing opportunities available for all. See you there!

This school year has been full of growth, exploration, and new opportunities for our Pre‑Employment Transition Services students. Throughout the year, students strengthened their skills in self‑advocacy, workplace readiness, career exploration, and independent living. They participated with curiosity, courage, and a willingness to try new things.

I’m proud of the progress each student made—whether it was practicing interview skills, identifying career interests, learning how to communicate needs, or building confidence in real‑world settings. Thank you to our teachers, families, and school staff for supporting this work and encouraging students every step of the way. I look forward to continuing this momentum next year as we help students prepare for successful futures.
