Exploring your career interests and identifying a work setting that is supportive for you and a fit for your own professional goals is a process you will engage with throughout your career. As a student with disabilities:
- you may be wondering how to find a role that aligns with your interests, skills, and/or exploring what is important to you.
- you may be navigating the right way for you to balance your health with a job or internship, based on your individual situation right now or as you consider your next step.
- you may have questions about how to identify a work setting where your identity is supported and your perspective is valued by your employer and colleagues.
We welcome you to connect 1-1 with a Piper Center coach to discuss these and other questions, and to explore your individual strengths, fields of interest, and priorities in terms of career.
The following resources may also be useful as you explore your career interests and potential next steps.
