Georgia Industries for the Blind Celebrates NDEAM and Job Opportunities

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. This year's theme, created by the Department of Labor, is Expectation Plus Opportunity Equals Full Participation.

Georgia Industries for the Blind (GIB), is one of 88 agencies across the country that provides employment and personal economic opportunities for people who are blind. This October, they are promoting the Department of Labor's National Disability Employment Awareness month theme: Expectation Plus Opportunity Equals Full Participation.

It's important to remind people that their expectations lead to success. Expectations with "opportunities" create even greater successes. People who are blind or have other severe disabilities are extremely capable workers and good employees. In today's market place, all they really need are opportunities, and equal access employment opportunities.

National Industries for the Blind is an AbilityOne Program agency. NIB and its 88 associated agencies are the single largest employers of people who are blind in the country. Find out more at NIB.org.
