Governor’s Weekly Message: Job Mentoring for People with Disabilities


Wilmington –  In his weekly message, Governor Markell talks about the importance of mentoring – in particular, young people preparing for their first jobs and careers.   Because October is national Disabilities Awareness Month, the Governor focused on mentoring people with disabilities and mentoring connections that took place at Disabilities Mentoring Day at the University of Delaware, sponsored by its Center for Disabilities Studies.

As Chair of the National Governors Association this year, the Governor’s initiative is “A Better Bottom Line: Employing People with Disabilities.”

At noon every Friday, the Governor’s office releases a new Weekly Message in video, audio, and transcript form.  The message is available on:
