How to Manage a Disability in the Workplace
Wednesday, September 20th, 12 - 12:45 pm
Virtual
Career readiness for our students with disabilities includes understanding how to manage a disability in the workplace. Beyond the disclosure decision, students need to consider:
- What are the specific impacts of the disability that will affect work performance?;
- What accommodations will support success on the job?;
- How to negotiate disability with supervisors and co-workers; and
- How strong their self-advocacy and self-determination skills are.
This workshop will be conducted virtually on a monthly basis. If this date doesn’t work for you, check out Handshake for future offerings, including all topics in our "How to..." monthly workshop series: How to (1) build your network, (2) search for an internship or job, (3) prepare for an interview, (4) be career ready as a BIPOC Terp, (5) apply to graduate school, (6) evaluate & negotiate job offers, and (7) disclose a disability to an employer.
