March 13, 2017: Disability Disclosure in the Job Search & Workplace
Captioned Recording* Transcript PowerPoint Slides Are you concerned about if, when, and how to disclose your disability in the job search and work place? There is not one right way to disclose your disability, and your own approach may change depending on the situation. But developing your personal plan for how to disclose your disability in the workplace is important as you prepare for internships and career jobs. Our guest mentors--Sean Marihugh from Microsoft, Michael Reese from Bellevue College, and Tami Tidwell from DO-IT at the University of Washington--will share their knowledge and experience as college-to-career mentors, employees with disabilities, and employers to help us explore options for disability disclosure. *Sadly, the recording of this session is inaudible and so is not included in our public archives. |
