United Ability Hiring Expo
Lawson State Community College will host United Ability for its 2024 Hiring Expo,
Friday, October 4 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The expo, held in the Arthur Shores Fine
Arts building on the Birmingham campus, is free and open to the public.
"This job fair is more than just an event," Katie Dumais, director of employment services
at United Ability, recently told
WBRC-TV. "It's a celebration of the skills and talents that people with disabilities bring
to the workforce. We believe in creating a roadmap to success for all, and we're excited
to partner with local employers who share our vision of an inclusive workforce."
The hiring expo is being held as
National Disability Employment Month (NDEAM) kicks off nationwide. Throughout October, organizations are rallying behind the theme, "Access
to good jobs for all." The annual observance, sponsored by the U.S. Department of
Labor, educates the public about disability topics and celebrates the contributions
of American workers with disabilities.
