Are you interested in a government internship or a long-term job after you graduate? If so, Career Planning & Development, in partnership with Accessibility and Disability Services, would like to tell you about a great opportunity for Drury students with disabilities! The Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP), coordinated by the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Department of Defense, is a recruitment and referral program that connects federal and select private-sector employers with highly motivated college students, graduate students, and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through internships or permanent jobs.
Students and recent graduates can apply to WRP if they:
-have a disability and are eligible under the Schedule A hiring authority.
-are a U.S. citizen or national (residents of American Samoa and Swains Island).
-are enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program on a substantially full-time basis OR have graduated with a degree on or after April 1, 2022.
Career Planning & Development and Accessibility and Disability Services will be hosting two informational sessions that will cover the basic information related to the WRP, how students can register for it, important deadlines, and other information.
The first in-person informational session will be held on Thursday, September 5, from 11:00am – 12:00pm, at the Writing Center in the O’Reilly Enterprise Center. Free pizza will be provided to all those who attend!
