- Sharpen their interviewing skills during a required one-on-one meeting with a WRP recruiter
- Gain valuable skills, experience, and contacts on the job
- Prove that people with disabilities can be excellent employees
Deadlines: Eligible candidates must contact their Campus Coordinator as early as the spring semester to be considered for inclusion into the WRP. Interviews are conducted in the Fall and take place the first week of October through the second week of November.
