U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao announced that “Americans with Disabilities: Ready for the Global Workforce” will be the official theme for October’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month, which is celebrated nationwide.
“The 2006 theme — “Americans with Disabilities: Ready for the Global Workforce” — highlights the fact that workers with disabilities are an underutilized and ambitious group of Americans eager to pursue their career dreams,” said Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. “This theme echoes the President”s New Freedom Initiative which has been out in front in recognizing the need to promote greater job opportunities for workers with disabilities.”
