On college campuses, there are several offices that will be able to assist you with your recruitment efforts. Career Services offices and cooperative education programs are used to working with employers and assisting them with locating talented student interns. A business can work with these offices to expand recruitment efforts to college students with disabilities. Academic departments are often aware of specific students who might be good matches for your position and business environment. Establishing contacts with college faculty and staff can assist recruiters with locating skilled employees.
Many offices have newsletters and e-mail discussion groups for their students.
Ask if you can advertise job and internship openings through these established methods of communication. Contact your local colleges, universities, and technical schools to inquire about these possibilities. Your state Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Department of Services for the Blind, Employment Security , and Governor's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities can also provide you with referrals for qualified candidates. Local communities often have a number of agencies that serve people with disabilities as they pursue employment opportunities. They are listed in your local telephone directory.
