Mentors: Employers
Disability Mentoring Day provides employers with opportunities to help Mentees with disabilities build confidence about their own employability, share firsthand job experiences to someone interested in their desired career field, develop lasting Mentee relationships, gain access to a pool of new emerging talent, recruit short- and long-term interns and demonstrate positive leadership in their community.
How Can My Company Get Involved?
Employers interested in participating in Disability Mentoring Day are connected with a Community Liaison in their community. This Community Liaison will assist your company with becoming a workplace Mentor. Whether you have one employee or several interested in participating in DMD, there is an opportunity for you.
One-On-One Job Shadowing
In communities across Florida, Mentees with disabilities are matched with workplace Mentors according to expressed career interests. This enables Mentees to learn more about a typical day on the job and how to prepare for that particular career.
Group Visits to Worksites
Mentees with disabilites can tour a workplace, meet with various employees on the job and learn first hand about different types of jobs and related opportunities within that career field.
Who Do I Contact to Sign Up?
Disability Mentoring Day allows employers to share their business knowledge and learn more about the experience of working with individuals with disabilities. For more information visit our Community Liaison Listing and find the coordinator near you.
