Director Will Arvelo had the honor this week of presenting the 2018 Employment Leadership Awards in Concord.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Employment Leadership Awards recognize employers statewide who reach out with opportunity and encouragement to assist people with disabilities in finding a job. October is also National Disability Awareness Month.
“The Employment Leadership Awards highlight the successful experiences employers throughout New Hampshire have when they hire staff with disabilities,” Arvelo said. “Thanks to them, hundreds of employers are giving hundreds of people the opportunity to be a part of their success and they are examples we hope will inspire other business owners.”
This year’s businesses earning the 2018 Employment Leadership Award include:
- The Comfort Inn, Concord
- Dunkin’ Donuts, Portsmouth
- Home Depot, Merrimack
- Omni Mount Washington, Bretton Woods
- Worthen Industries, Nashua
New Hampshire Vocational Rehabilitation provides free services to businesses interested in diverifying their workplaces, including training.
