At the UW Career & Internship Center, we are committed to helping all disabled, D/deaf, and neurodivergent-identifying students find satisfying experiential learning opportunities and gainful employment. To this end, we’ve compiled a list of resources for you, both on and off campus, which we hope will help answer questions you may have about disclosure, accommodations, your legal rights, and ways your employer can support you. This list is by no means exhaustive.
We’ve also provided some sites where you can expand upon your search for a job or internship and learn more about finding support in the workplace. Finally, we encourage you to schedule a one-on-one appointment with one of our career coaches through Handshake.
We are here to assist you with every step of this process, so feel free to ask us:
- When and how to disclose your disability to employers
- Where to learn about companies’ equity and inclusion policies
- How to request accommodations during the hiring process and beyond
