Students with Disabilities, the Workforce Recruitment Program Application for jobs and Internships deadline is October 11, 2021.
The Workforce Recruitment Program for College Students with Disabilities (WRP) is a recruitment and referral program that connects Federal Government and select private-sector employers nationwide with highly motivated postsecondary students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through paid summer or permanent jobs.
Participating in the WRP is an excellent way to:
· Find an internship or permanent position in the federal or private sector
· Explore careers in the federal service
· Gain interviewing experience
The WRP is run on an annual basis and requires student applicants to have a phone or video conference interview with one of our recruiters. The interviews take place during October-November each year. The WRP is coordinated on college campuses by Disability Services or Career Services offices. This past year, over 300 colleges and universities participate in the program and additional colleges and universities are added each year.
