The Arc of San
Diego and Sycuan Casino Resort Celebrate Individuals with
Disabilities during National Disability Employment Awareness
Month
SAN
DIEGO, Oct. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In
celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month,
Sycuan Casino Resort and The Arc of San
Diego held an event recognizing employees with disabilities
and honoring Sycuan for its steadfast commitment to inclusivity in
the workplace.
As part of the event at Sycuan, individuals with disabilities
and their job coaches who support them were recognized for their
service. For 10 years, Sycuan has partnered with The Arc of
San Diego to employ individuals
with disabilities as environmental services technicians, providing
guests with a clean and safe gaming environment. Sycuan also
employs clients of The Arc of San
Diego at its Pink Buddha restaurant.
Held each October, National Disability Employment Awareness
Month (NDEAM) is a national campaign that raises awareness about
disability employment issues and celebrates the many and varied
contributions of America's workers with disabilities. According to
the U.S. Department of Labor, the theme for 2022 is 'Disability:
Part of the Equity Equation' in recognition of the vital role
people with disabilities play in making the nation's workforce
diverse and inclusive.
"We are proud to celebrate National Disability Employment
Awareness Month and honor our team members for their valuable
contributions," said Rob Cinelli,
general manager at Sycuan Casino Resort. "At Sycuan, we are
committed to cultivating a thriving, positive and inclusive work
environment for all of our team members. We'd like to thank The Arc
of San Diego for their partnership
and dedication to our community."
In 2021, The Arc of San Diego
provided training and support to more than 400 individuals with
disabilities. These efforts are strengthened by partnerships with
over 100 local businesses, municipalities and government agencies
that employ individuals with disabilities and support their desire
to achieve full inclusion and independence not just in the
workplace but in all aspects of their community.
"We want to thank Sycuan for partnering with us to provide
employment opportunities for people with disabilities," said
Matt Mouer, Chief Operations Officer of The Arc of
San Diego. "Partners
like Sycuan, who value inclusive work
environments, assist The Arc in empowering people with
disabilities to achieve their career goals."
