North Central Idaho Disability Mentoring Day

Disability Mentoring Day (DMD) is designed to bring students with disabilities into the workplace where they can learn about various career opportunities. Through DMD, students are paired with area professionals to learn what it means to work in a particular field through observation of a typical workday. Students have an opportunity to identify necessary skills and learn about possible internships or employment prospects.  This year the North Central Idaho Disability Mentoring Day will be held October 27 in Lewiston, Idaho.  To apply, complete the Mentee Application by September 15. Questions?  Call Melisa Bryant at (208) 983-0440 ext. 3791 or email Melisa.Bryant@labor.idaho.gov.
