The goal of Disability Mentoring Day is to allow young people with disabilities the opportunity to explore different types of jobs and to examine their own educational and career goals. Employers will have one-on-one contact with youth with disabilities, giving the employer an opportunity to learn how valuable people with disabilities can be as potential employees.
