October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month and
Curative Connections would like to take the time to celebrate the individuals with differing abilities that are working towards obtaining permanent employment in the community or have been successfully employed in the community, utilizing their unique abilities to contribute to an employer.

Curative would also like to celebrate the area employers in Brown, Manitowoc and Shawano counties that have promoted the value of a diversified work place. They are an asset to our communities. Click here for a list of these employers https://bit.ly/35vVAsm.
