For almost 20 years, October has been designated as National Disability Employment Awareness Month. It is an opportunity to celebrate the value and talent workers with disabilities add to America’s workforce and economy while renewing our commitment to ensuring they have access to gainful employment every month of every year.

This year’s theme, “Access to Good Jobs for All,” taps into a core principle of NTIA’s Internet for All programs. High-speed Internet does not only give Americans unlimited options to work, learn, and engage, but it also introduces new ways for people living with disabilities to contribute to our digital economy.

Join us for a virtual event on October 29th at 2:00 pm ET and hear from stakeholders who are creating employment options for populations with disabilities. Speakers will detail specific ways for government agencies, nonprofits, companies, and academic institutions to help promote National Disability Employment Awareness Month with digital inclusion and economic opportunities.

ASL services will be available during the webinar but if you would like to request any other accommodation to participate in this webinar, please email your request to InternetForAll@ntia.gov by Monday, October 21. An NTIA staff member will follow up with you shortly regarding your request.
