October marks National Disability Employment Awareness Month, or NDEAM, recognizing workers with disabilities and inclusive workplaces. Outlook Enrichment proudly champions employment opportunities for people who are blind or visually impaired. Through Outlook’s Work Readiness program, clients gain tools and support to prepare for employment.
The spirit of togetherness continues Thursday, Nov. 5, at Outlook Enrichment’s Vision Beyond Sight Gala at A View West Shores in Waterloo, Nebraska. The evening will honor the 25th anniversary of Sept. 11 and America’s 250th with featured speaker Jeffrey Mittman’s firsthand account of loss, service and resilience.
Mittman, president and CEO of Bosma Enterprises and presidential appointee to the U.S. AbilityOne Commission, is a retired U.S. Army master sergeant and decorated military veteran who lost his vision in the line of duty. He is a nationally recognized advocate for employment opportunities for people who are blind or have significant disabilities.
