Join P&A in Celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month

Bismarck, ND - This October, join P&A in celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Access to meaningful employment is vital for independence and dignity. It fosters personal growth and economic stability, yet many individuals with disabilities encounter barriers to competitive integrated employment. P&A is dedicated to advocating for the employment rights of persons with disabilities and promoting equitable practices in the workforce.

To bring awareness to the value of competitive integrated employment, P&A proudly announces the release of a new video on sheltered work (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7D7Y3RLwZw). Our website (https://www.ndpanda.org) also offers a variety of employment related resources including the topics of vocational rehabilitation, Social Security, and employment discrimination.

Key employment services provided by P&A include:
• Advocacy for reasonable workplace accommodations.
• Assistance with transition services and planning.
• Support for individuals facing employment discrimination.
• And more!

We invite our community to reach out to Protection and Advocacy for more information on disability-related employment resources and information. Let's work together to create a more inclusive workforce that values the contributions of individuals with disabilities.

The North Dakota Protection & Advocacy Project is committed to safeguarding the rights of individuals with disabilities. Through advocacy, education, and support, we strive to promote equality in all aspects of life, including employment.
