Successful NDEAM Hiring Events Open Doors for Job Seekers

Watch Now

OOD hiring events during National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) made a difference! We had five hiring events across the state, including:

• 424 interviews
• 39 employers
• 255 job seekers
• 16 same-day job offers!

Three areas also hosted job fairs in conjunction with the hiring events with 41 employers and nearly 200 job seekers participating. These events not only facilitated direct connection to jobs but also emphasized the ongoing commitment to fostering inclusive workplaces. This year’s theme, "Access to Good Jobs for All," highlights the importance of providing equitable opportunities for individuals with disabilities, ensuring they can thrive in diverse work environments.

 

The success of our hiring events reflects the dedication of our job seekers, staff, and employer partners. Congratulations to our job seekers for their perseverance and determination! Your hard work is paving the way for a more inclusive workforce.

 

We also extend our gratitude to our employer partners who recognize the value of Ohioans with disabilities in the workplace. Your participation is crucial in creating pathways for individuals with disabilities to access meaningful employment opportunities.
