HONORING SKILLS OF WORKERS WITH DISABILITIES

In her comments, Executive Director Robin L. Davies-Small, said, “October is the month we set aside to honor the skills of workers with disabilities…But this should not only be happening in October, this needs to be a part of our nation’s core – honoring workers with disabilities needs to happen every day of the year.”

The programs at Yes She Can teach individuals the skills necessary to eventually join the competitive workforce. Several speakers at its recent event talked about National Disabilities Employment Awareness Month and emphasized the quality of services that Yes She Can is providing to the trainees.

The auction part of the event was a success with almost $10,000 raised.  In addition, The Laurence W. Levine Foundation donated an additional $10,000 this week to support the Yes She Can training programs.
