SACRAMENTO, Calif. —

Thousands of people braved the rain to attend the "I AM ABLE" job fair at the Sacramento Convention Center.

More than 40 employers set up tables to hire workers at the event organized by PRIDE Industries.

PRIDE Industries had more than 900 people pre-register for the event and expected close to 2,000 attendees.

"All people with disabilities really want is an opportunity to get in front of an employer and let that employer know what they can do," said Kat Maudru from PRIDE Industries. "If somebody doesn't look you in the eye or shake your hand, if that's not part of the job description, that shouldn't matter. These are wonderful employers ready, willing and able to interview wonderful job seekers with different abilities."
