October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month!

Disability Mentoring Day will be observed on Wednesday, October 20. Before 2020, 35+ businesses hosted in-person job shadowing opportunities for DEC functional skills classes on Disability Mentoring Day. This allowed students to be paired with career professionals to observe a typical workday, identify necessary job skills, and learn about possible employment prospects.

Although in-person visits will not occur during October 2021, the DEC is proud to work collaboratively with the following Community Partners to provide teachers with a catalog of virtual job site tours to share with students.

Contact Pat Beane (beanepm@scsk12.org) with any questions.
