Disability Employment

On October 4, Attorney General Pam Bondi plans to introduce a resolution for Governor Scott and the Cabinet to consider declaring the month of October as Disability Employment Awareness Month in Florida. Disability organizations, along with state agencies that serve people with disabilities, will be on hand to accept the resolution. The Cabinet meeting begins at 9 a.m. and is open to the public.

APD, Blind Services, Vocational Rehabilitation, and other partners will be recognizing outstanding businesses on October 5 with a celebration at Tallahassee City Hall. These exceptional employers will receive recognition because their companies demonstrate a commitment to employing individuals with disabilities. There also will be informational displays, refreshments, and speakers talking about the importance of providing opportunities for people with disabilities to go to work. This free public event will be held at the Tallahassee City Commission Chambers, 300 South Adams Street, beginning at 8:30 a.m.  We hope to see you there!
