Last week was another busy week for our clients. We highlighted the work of artists with disabilities whose works were on display as part of the UNESCO Detroit Month of Design; One of Detroit’s most anticipated restaurants opened after it was able to hire enough staff; LanzaTech continues to make headlines with its climate solutions, and electric vehicles continue to remain top of mind but now with options for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capabilities.
October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month which gives us a chance to celebrate companies that employ people with disabilities and embrace diversity and inclusion practices, and raise awareness for those companies that don’t. Services to Enhance Potential (STEP) and other Community Rehabilitation Organizations, are preparing individuals with developmental disabilities for these opportunities. Every day these organizations work with thousands of individuals with disabilities helping prepare them for work opportunities. Additionally, efforts are taken to work with the potential employer to assure the individual’s transition to the work place is a smooth one and the employer needs continue to be met.
