For almost 20 years, October has been designated as National Disability Employment Awareness Month. It is an opportunity to celebrate the value and talent workers with disabilities add to America’s workforce and economy while renewing our commitment to ensuring they have access to gainful employment every month of every year.

Tribal nations face unique challenges when seeking solutions to the digital equity gaps in their communities. This webinar will feature Tribal leaders discussing how they are using federal and other resources to create pathways to success for their residents.
