“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.

The Ronald Reagan Building is located at 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW in Washington, DC. To register for free online, visit www.eop.com/expo.
