Bring Your Bible to School Day held at Luzerne County Community College

<p>Pride Mobility Products&#174; and Quantum Rehab&#174; offered approximately 20 Luzerne Intermediate Unit (LIU) 18 students with disabilities an opportunity to be mentored by career professionals in various fields during Disability Mentoring Day (DMD) 2018 on Oct. 18 at the company&#8217;s Duryea facility.</p><p>DMD is designed to bring students with disabilities into the workplace where they can learn about various career paths. Through Pride and Quantum&#8217;s ninth Annual DMD event, participants had the opportunity to meet with professionals to learn the typical job responsibilities and the necessary knowledge and skills needed for a specific vocation. Careers in research and development, sales, technical service, and production were highlighted. The students were able to tour the production area and see a brand-new, expanded test lab.</p><p>DMD originated at the White House in 1999 with less than three dozen local individuals participating. Now hosted by the American Association of People with Disabilities, the nation&#8217;s largest cross-disability membership organization, DMD has evolved significantly to encompass participation in all 50 states and many countries around the world.
