NDEAM takes place every October to commemorate the many and varied contributions of people with disabilities to the workplaces and economy of the United States.

Although this is a virtual event, job seekers are encouraged to dress to impress and have an updated resume on hand. Current labor market information shows that job seekers have more career opportunities and choices. This event encourages all interested to take control of this idea and start networking.

Participants are encouraged to attend this first virtual recruiting event with the Disability Rights Center in conjunction with Social Security’s Ticket to Work program, the Virgin Islands University Center on Development Disabilities and the ADA Territorial Coordinator.
