Are you a student with a disability interested in a government internship or a long-term job after you graduate?
If so, consider participating in the Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP), coordinated by the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Department of Defense. It’s a recruitment and referral program that connects federal and select private-sector employers with highly motivated college students, graduate students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through internships or permanent jobs. If interested, please visit WRP.gov for more information and register today.

Reporting a Barrier
The College is committed to equal access for people with disabilities, and strives to remove barriers to its programs and facilities wherever they exist. However, you may encounter a barrier to access on campus, such as an inoperative elevator or lift, blocking of an access ramp, broken or missing curb cut, or other impediment to access. If you do, please notify us of the issue by completing the Barrier Notification Form.
