🎉 Celebrating Value and Talent During National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) 🎉

Throughout October, we join organizations across the country in recognizing the talents, accomplishments, and contributions of people with disabilities in the workforce.

Inclusive workplaces benefit everyone by creating stronger businesses, stronger communities, and greater opportunities for all.

As we celebrate NDEAM 2026 and this year's theme, "Celebrating Value and Talent," we also invite you to take part in a special national event recognizing 25 years of impact from the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP).
