In 2010 AAPD is proud to launch, in conjunction with Walmart and with the support of the Walmart Foundation, the DMD Green Jobs Initiative, to connect youth, students, and jobseekers with disabilities to emerging new careers in the green economy.

National Launch

This year, the 2010 Disability Mentoring Day National Launch will be held in Washington, DC to recognize the many public supporters and national employers who make Disability Mentoring possible across the country each October, during National Disability Employment Awareness Month.  On October 20, 2010, AAPD will host a DMD National Kick-Off Breakfast that will feature leaders from the US Department of Labor and the US Social Security Administration speaking about their commitment to hiring people with disabilities in federal jobs.

Green Jobs

AAPD will also be launching our new DMD Green Jobs Initiative, generously supported by the Walmart Foundation and announced by Walmart at the 10th Anniversary DMD National Launch last year.  Following the Kick-Off Breakfast, area college students with disabilities will be paired with leading Administration and public officials for a day of high-level job-shadowing and mentoring opportunities.  More information to come!
