For individuals with disabilities, additional resources may be available to help identify employment opportunities, workplace accommodations, career training programs, and support services. The websites listed below are provided as educational resources for students, families, educators, and job seekers exploring employment options.

 A Note to Students A job search is more than finding a position. It is an opportunity to learn about your strengths, interests, goals, and future career pathways. As you explore these resources, consider: * What type of work interests me? * What skills do I already have? * What skills do I want to develop? * What accommodations help me succeed? * What career path matches my strengths? Remember that employment is often one part of a larger transition plan that may also include college, trade school, apprenticeships, military service, or independent living goals.
