“The U.S. Department of Labor’s passage of Section 503 establishes a nationwide utilization goal of seven percent for qualified Individuals with disABILITIES,” says John R. Miller III, EOP chairman, and CEO and publisher of CAREERS & the disABLED magazine.

“This has galvanized industry and government to take action toward reaching and recruiting people with disABILITIES, with the result of an increase in the number of recruiters participating in our career fairs,” Miller adds.

Boston Marriott Copley Place is located at 110 Huntington Avenue in Boston, MA. To register online visit www.eop.com/expo. For attendee information please contact Annette Maldonado-Cora at acora@eop.com. For information about how to exhibit, please contact Dan Castellano at dcastellano@eop.com.
