Welcome to the Disability Mentoring Program | ||||
AAPD’s Disability Mentoring Day (DMD) Program is a national job-shadow and career exploration program designed to link students and jobseekers with disabilities to employers interested in hiring people with disabilities. AAPD coordinates DMD national through a network of more than 350 volunteer DMD Coordinators. DMD Coordinators are responsible for local DMD programs and share information about their programs on www.DisabilityMentor.net. DMD is recognized nationally on the third Wednesday of every October, National Disability Employment Awareness Month. AAPD encourages our network of DMD Coordinators to center their local DMD activities around this date; however DMD activities can and do occur around the country on many different dates. To find out when your local DMD program is happening, please visit www.DisabilityMentor.net. Disability Mentoring Day (DMD) is a large-scale national effort to promote career development for students and job seekers with disabilities through hands-on career exploration, on-site job shadowing, and ongoing mentoring leading to internship and employment opportunities. Hosted by the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the largest national cross-disability membership organization in the United States, DMD connects nearly 20,000 job-seekers with disabilities with thousands of employers in more than 300 locations in every U.S. State and Territory and in more than 24 countries worldwide each year.
