Spring Semester 2018 is all about Employment and Students with Disabilities. We will share information here and elsewhere in the NCCSD Clearinghouse for students, Career Services staff, Internship and Practicum supervisors and employers.
Today we encourage you to sign up for the free web event sponsored by the Association on Higher Education And Disability:
"College to Career Transition: Leveraging the ADA & Accommodations at Work"
Jan 24th, 2018 / 12 -1:15 pm (EST)
Sponsored by the Association of Higher Education and Disabilities (AHEAD) Career SIG and the Cooperative Education and Internship Association (CEIA) in partnership with the Job Accommodation Network (JAN)
Students with disabilities who receive accommodations in higher education should be knowledgeable about disability disclosure, and requesting and negotiating reasonable accommodations under title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) when transitioning from college to career. During this session, the Job Accommodation Network (JAN), will share information about using JAN as a resource, offer practical tips for leveraging the ADA to request accommodations at work, and will enable service providers to empower graduates with disabilities to self-advocate in the workplace.
This is free but there are limited spots.
