- In 2016, Mount Allison hosted a conference on transition to employment for students with disabilities, that brought together students, employers, service providers, practitioners and scholars. The latest research and best practices were shared, focusing on practical and effective approaches for both students and employers. One outcome of this conference is the guide to help students navigate the route to employment, Transition to Employment for University Graduates with Disabilities (pdf).
This 75-page booklet is divided into three sections that address such topics as:
- Job search
- Application and interview process
- Disclosure
- Legal rights and obligations
- Employment support resources for persons with disabilities
We recommend this to you, to answer immediate questions, offer resources and anticipate some of the contentious issue that may arise.
