The Workforce Recruitment Program for College Students with Disabilities (WRP) is a resource for employers nationwide to identify qualified temporary and permanent employees from a variety of fields. Applicants are highly motivated post secondary students and recent graduates eager to prove their abilities in the workforce.
What Does the Program Offer Employers?
- Job candidates pre-screened through face-to-face interviews.
- Information about each applicant's qualifications.
- Referral pools tailored to specific job requirements.
- Access to candidates across the nation, by state or by school.
- Flexibility in hiring for summer internships or permanent positions.
- Opportunity to evaluate summer interns for permanent staffing needs.
- Freedom to conduct independent interviews after referrals are made.
How Does the Program Work?
Trained recruiters from federal agencies conduct personal interviews with interested students on college and university campuses. Student information is compiled in a database that is provided to all participating agencies. Students may be hired for summer or permanent employment.
