☝️Inclusion works, especially when it comes to employing people with disabilities. Patrick is part of our team at Progress Industries, where he's gained experience working on NYSID and other contracts, including assembling, labeling, bottling, and palletizing. Work is a big part of his life, and this National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we’re applauding the companies that partner with us to make it possible.

As we continue celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we’re taking a moment to recognize what meaningful employment can make possible.

A job can open the door to greater independence, new skills, financial stability, confidence, and community connection. Across New York State, people with disabilities contribute their talents, build careers, and strengthen the businesses and organizations where they work.

That’s why employment remains at the center of NYSID’s mission. Through our Member Agencies, business partners and customers, we’re proud to be part of a network that creates real opportunities for people with disabilities to work, grow and succeed.

There’s a lot to celebrate this month—and we’ll keep sharing the people, partnerships and possibilities that make it happen.
