Workforce Recruitment Program
Students With Disabilities Employment Program
The Workforce Recruitment Program for College Students with Disabilities (WRP) is a resource to connect public and private sector employers nationwide with highly motivated postsecondary students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to prove their abilities in the workforce.This program is sponsored through the US Department of Labor, Office of Disability Employment Policy.
Annually, trained recruiters from federal agencies conduct personal interviews with interested students on college and university campuses. From these interviews, a database is compiled containing information on more than 1,000 college students and recent graduates seeking temporary or permanent jobs. Interested employers will make direct contact with students about temporary and permanent job offers. Jobs include local and out-of area opportunities.
For more information, view the brochure (requires Acrobat Reader) and please call the Career Center to schedule an appointment with the Career Counselor connecting students with this program.
