Sacramento JCC participates in DMD

On October 15, 2003, the CDD and a student from the Sacramento Job Corps Center participated in the Disability Mentoring Day (DMD) activities at PRIDE Industries. The trainee had the opportunity to work on the production floor, and was treated to a special lunch. It was a great experience, and the student was so proud of herself. When the CDD and student returned to center, the student couldn't wait to share her experience with friends and staff.

DMD promotes career development for students and job seekers with disabilities through one-on-one job shadowing, group visits to public and private employers, and hands-on career exploration. It is held in October in conjunction with National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
