Today is the 10th anniversary of Disability Mentoring Day (DMD), a day of activities around the nation designed for "career exploration, mentoring and job shadowing to students and job seekers with all forms of disabilities."
More than 20,000 people with disabilities will participate in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and in 23 countries worldwide," according to The American Association of People with Disabilities.
For example, here are some activities in Midland surrounding the day.
The Office of Disability Employment Policy has more information, too.
