In celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services has featured five stories of personal accomplishment and success that demonstrate how vocational rehabilitation services are making a difference in the lives of people in communities across North Carolina.

DHHS is proud of its consumers who benefit from employment services, our business partners who benefit from services to employers and the staffs at the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services and the Division of Services for the Blind who bring businesses and workers together by matching skills with job requirements.

Please take a look at the compelling stories of Tanya Rivera, Ernest Moore, Rikki Branch, Brandon Johnson and Adam Lawler.
