November 2009

Native American Indian Heritage Month

Heritage Month - October

2009 Theme: Expectation + Opportunity = Full Participation

Congress designated each October as National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). Various programs carried out throughout the month celebrate the contributions and skills of American workers with disabilities, while also highlighting the specific employment barriers that still need to be addressed.

This year’s theme emphasizes the vision of the Labor Department’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP): a world in which people with disabilities have unlimited employment opportunities.
