McHenry County National Disability Employment Awareness Celebration

667 Ware Road,Woodstock IL 60098

01 October, 2021

Description

The purpose of this event is to educate about disability employment issues and celebrate the County's workers with disabilities. The event will feature speakers from transit agencies, local non-profits, and governmental agencies, all speaking on the advancements, and future potential, of creating meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. We will also be celebrating the expansion of McHenry County’s MCRide Dial-a-Ride program, which expanded to offer service county-wide earlier this year, becoming the first program to do so in the Chicagoland region. With its expansion, thousands of residents gained access to the program, allowing for greater access to employment opportunities and increased mobility.
