Job One Week

The State of Missouri, along with Jackson County, the cities of Independence, Kansas City, Grandview, Blue Springs, Lexington, Belton, and Lee’s Summit, Missouri have joined together to officially proclaim the week of October 3-7 as “Job One Week” to recognize the leadership role Job One has championed in ensuring employment choice and advocacy for people with disabilities in our area. This honor comes during National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) in October, which commemorates the many and varied contributions of people with disabilities in America’s workforce and national economy.
