Virtual Online Job Fair for Disabled College Students Transitioning from School to Work
Coming April 2008 to the Western United States. Reserve your spot today!
Hi, my name is Diana Corso and I am the Founder/Chairman of disABLEDperson Inc. Do you as an employer want to reach the skilled workforce of disabled college students transitioning to work? Are you proactive in hiring the disabled but have no budget to recruit this skilled workforce? disABLEDperson Inc. can help. This is a preliminary email to inform you that in April 2008, we will be hosting a Virtual Online Job Fair for Disabled College Students making the transition from school to work in the Western United States on our web portal www.disABLEDperson.com and we are offering your company the opportunity to participate, free as a public service. Included States are Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.
Participating Colleges and Universities We have talked to the Disability Student Services Department at every 4 year institution with 1000 students or more in each of the above states to confirm their school’s respective participation. Students from major universities throughout the 10 states will participate.
Job Fair Experience disABLEDperson Inc. has held 2 successful Virtual Online Job Fairs for Disabled College Students Transitioning from School to Work in California in 2007. For the California Fairs, we had 44 universities and colleges such as Stanford, UCLA, Berkeley and USC participate along with 38 employers.
In a letter to disABLEDperson Inc’s Nicholas Corso who was the Project Director in California, California’s First Lady Maria Shriver stated. “I applaud you for your dedication to help provide independence and self-sufficiency to those qualified individuals who many times are overlooked for jobs based on their disability. On behalf of all Californians, please accept my best wishes for every future success.”
Partnerships To date, disABLEDperson Inc. has formed a partnership for this initiative the DirectEmployers Association of America.
Logistics: How it will work! Here is how it will work. Simply, the student comes to our site on the day of the fair, click on our Fair Page where they will see a list of participating employers. Click on an employer where they will be directed to your profile page that will describe if you like your diversity practices. The page if you wish can also hold current job openings. Again, if you wish, the candidate can then click on a hyperlink that will direct them to a private chat room with a recruiter from your company where your recruiter can then decide if they would like to further pursue the candidate. disABLEDperson Inc. can limit the number of individuals at any given time who enter the chat room. That number will be decided by the individual company.
disABLEDperson Inc. understands that different companies handle online resumes in different ways. That being said, we will do our best to accommodate you as best we can. You, the employer can have back links on your page that will send the student to your company’s career site to post their respective resume or we can build a resume submission form on your employer’s page that will go into an Access Database. Following the fair, we can then send you the database for your review. Again, we will do our best to accommodate you.
Cost to Participate There is no fee to participate. However, we do ask for voluntary tax deductible donation. The amount will be up to you.
