Disability Matters Radio Show Highlights Disability Mentoring Day 2011

How can people with disabilities create career opportunities? Each week, AAPD Board Chair Joyce Bender discusses the employment and empowerment of people with disabilities on her radio show: Disability Matters. Today’s edition of Disability Matters features Michael Murray, AAPD Director of Programs, offering listeners info and insight on Disability Mentoring Day (DMD) 2011. DMD, a job-shadow and career exploration program, links students and jobseekers with disabilities to employers interested in hiring people with disabilities. Every year, AAPD coordinates DMD through a network of more than 200 volunteers. 

DMD 2011 will take place on Wednesday, October 19th.
