Greg Abbott Launches 10th Annual Texas HireAbility Campaign

Governor Greg Abbott (R) has announced the launch of the 10th annual Texas HireAbility campaign, which is a statewide initiative aimed at raising awareness of the benefits of hiring people with disabilities and celebrating their contributions in the workplace.

“Every October, we honor the nearly two million Texans with disabilities who strengthen our workforce and make our state great,” the Texas Governor said in a statement. “In Texas, we open the doors of opportunity for all people. Because when everyone has the chance to work and succeed, our state succeeds.”

The monthlong campaign, which is hosted in partnership with the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), will feature job fairs, employer forums, and disability awareness events across Texas.

2025’s campaign coincides with the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which Governor Abbott recognized in a proclamation earlier this year. He also designated October 2025 as Disability Employment Awareness month in Texas.

TWC leaders similarly emphasized the importance of workforce inclusion.

“Many of Texas’ most successful employers proudly make disability inclusion a priority in the workplace, and we want to encourage all businesses to leverage this talent pipeline,” TWC Chairman Joe Esparza said in a statement.

Commissioner Representing Labor Alberto Treviño III added that “Texas HireAbility isn’t just about filling jobs; it’s about unlocking the immense potential and diverse skills that people with disabilities bring to our workplaces.”

As part of the campaign, TWC’s We Hire Ability recognition program honors businesses where at least 10% of employees are people with disabilities. Employers receive decals for both online and physical locations.

The Texas HireAbility Employer Forum will be held on October 2nd, 2025, at Morgan’s Wonderland in San Antonio.

The event will feature keynote speaker Dr. Daniel Wendler, along with employers such as Accenture, Toyotetsu, and Christus Alamo Heights Hospital, sharing best practices in disability inclusion.
