Welcome to the Education to Employment Package for University Students and Graduates with a disability. University students and graduates with a disability CAN and DO get the jobs they want. This Package aims to assist you to get the job YOU want!

Looking for a job can be very challenging for new graduates, including university graduates with a disability. You may find it hard to:

• understand what your rights and responsibilities are when looking for work
• understand what your rights and responsibilities are when in the job
• decide whether or not to disclose your disability
• know what skills and knowledge you need when looking for a job
• know what employment resources or support are available to you, and
• know what employment services are available to you at university and in the community.

The information in this Package will help you to address some of these challenges of getting a job by:

• providing specific information about your rights under anti-discrimination law
• providing information about disclosing your disability when seeking a job
• providing specific employment information
• showing what options there are to help you get a job
• providing a list of resources that may assist you to find and keep a job.
