How to Manage a Disability in the Workplace

Location: Virtual on Handshake

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:

1. What are the specific impacts of the disability that will affect work performance?;

2. What accommodations will support success on the job?;

3. How to negotiate disability with supervisors and co-workers; and

4. How strong their self-advocacy and self-determination skills are.

Being ready to manage a disability in the workplace begins while you are here on campus. This workshop will help you to prepare to transition successfully from campus to career as a student with a disability.

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.
