The Asheville Unit of the
N.C. Div. of Vocational Rehabilitation
invites you to a celebration of the
National Disability Employment Awareness Month
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 22 9:00-12:00
8 Barbetta Drive, Asheville, NC 28806
In 1945, as World War II
ended, a pressing concern of congress was how to assist military servicemen
suffering from combat injuries in regaining employment upon their return to
civilian life. In October of that year,
what would become NDEAM was enacted.
Each October, Vocational Rehabilitation
offices throughout the country acknowledge our foundation with a celebration to
highlight our support of this effort.
The intent is to inform businesses on how to benefit from this untapped
labor force.
This is an opportunity to
teach, learn and become informed. Teach VR and other service providers about
what needs you have. Learn about how a
VR Engineer may suggest workplace accommodations for better productivity, and
learn about the tax benefits available by hiring VR participants. Become informed on how VR staff can assist
your organization with staff development and retention.
Panel Discussion from 9:30-10:00
Light Breakfast Refreshments served 9:30 – 12:00
RSVP to Dag Bergrud, Layne Harper or Leigh Mullins
at 828-670-3377
