The Experiential Learning Hub is launching a pilot summer work experience program for undergraduate students with disabilities. Participants will receive designated support (workshops, advising, job board) to secure and succeed in a summer opportunity that aligns with their career goals.
This project is sponsored by the David C. Onley 2.0 Initiative<https://carleton.ca/accessibility-institute/projects/active-projects/dcoi-2…>, which aims to share and build the foundational knowledge of Ontario post-secondary institutions by introducing an online “Field Guide” to navigate the implementation of best practices and learnings of the DCOI Collective Impact Strategy.

Students can submit their interest by completing the short online application form in Experience Guelph (https://experienceguelph.ca/myAccount/WorkAbility/WorkAbility-home.htm). This link is only accessible through a student account.

We greatly appreciate your support in promoting the program.
