October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), which celebrates the contributions of America’s workers with disabilities past and present, and showcases supportive, inclusive employment policies and practices. The purpose of National Disability Employment Awareness Month is to educate about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America’s workers with disabilities.
Held annually, NDEAM is led by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy, but its true spirit lies in the many observances held at the grassroots level across the nation every year. Employers of all sizes and in all industries are encouraged to participate in NDEAM.
In recognition of the important role people with disabilities play in a diverse and inclusive American workforce, the theme for NDEAM 2022 is “Disability: Part of the Equity Equation.”
We encourage all Electric Boat employees to participate and celebrate NDEAM 2022.
