CSU Career Services works with the Workforce Recruitment Program to connect college students and recent graduates with disabilities to employers across the nation for summer internships and full-time jobs.
The WRP provides students and recent graduates with disabilities in all fields of study the opportunity to market their abilities to a wide variety of potential employers across the United States, sharpen their interviewing skills during a required phone interview with a WRP recruiter, and gain valuable skills, experience, and contacts on the job.
To qualify, an eligible candidate:
- Must have an intellectual disability, severe physical disability, or psychiatric disability which makes the candidate eligible to use the Schedule A hiring authority (see explanation in the Schedule A Checklist for Candidates)
- Must be a United States citizen
- Must be a current, full-time, degree-seeking, post-secondary student, unless they are taking a reduced course load due to a disability OR are in their final semester.
Individuals who met the preceding requirements while enrolled, but have graduated within one year of the release of the database each December, are also eligible. For the 2014 WRP release, interviews will be held in the fall of 2013. Candidates who graduated prior to October 2012, are NOT eligible to participate this year.
