Product Description:
Disability Mentoring Day (DMD) is a broad-based effort promoting employment of persons with disabilities through personal mentoring. During Disability Mentoring Day job-seekers and students (mentees) with disabilities are paired with representatives of locally-based businesses or agencies in career fields that match their interests. A primary goal of DMD is to provide people with disabilities insight and hands-on experience in various professions that appeal to them, rather than arbitrarily placing mentees in any job. This brief describes events in Hawai`i in for DMD 2004.
