An important aspect of career development for a college student with a disability is to consider the impact of one’s condition in employment and to begin and plan for a successful transition into the workplace. The same disability laws that ensure non-discrimination and equal opportunity in education apply in the workplace. There are many resources that students can use to learn more about employment and disability. Importantly, many businesses and organizations are quite committed to employing people with disabilities and take affirmative efforts through their diversity programs to offer opportunities such as internships, mentoring programs, and scholarships. Many businesses are very interested in offering these opportunities specifically to Cornell students.
