Disabilty Mentoring Day (DMD) is coming up on October 21 in Dodge City and
Hutchinson and on October 28 in Pratt! 🎉

This is an important event not only for the hundreds of high school
students who get hands-on job experience, but also for the mentors
and businesses who are connected with future employees.

At the Hutchinson Carlos O'Kelly's , DMD is a longstanding tradition, with one employee hired from the event having worked there 15 years.

Kitchen Manager Brook Neufeld looks forward to the event every year, and is grateful to work with leadership (Thrive Restaurant Group ) that values and invests in everyone's potential.

"One thing Thrive has always been good at recognizing and trying to set people up to succeed just based on who they are as an individual, not what group they're categorized."

Disability Mentoring Day (DMD) is coming up on October 21 in Dodge City and Hutchinson and on October 28 in Pratt! 🎉

For students with disabilities, DMD is a chance to explore careers firsthand, ask questions and discover possibilities they may not have considered before. But the experience can be just as meaningful for the mentors who welcome them into their workplaces.

At Hutchinson Community College ’s Cosmetology & Barber School, DMD gives visiting students a firsthand look at the industry while giving HCC students an opportunity to strengthen their own communication and people skills.

Instructor Wesley DeWitt says the experience can create “aha moments” for everyone involved.

“It’s a great opportunity for self-growth, self-discovery and self-reflection. We just want people to feel like, ‘Oh my gosh, we belong!" 😍
