Potential Internship Opportunity—Workforce Recruitment Program 

Attention recent graduates, graduate students, juniors, and seniors who have a disability!

You are encouraged to apply for an internship with the federal government through the Workforce Recruitment Program. The Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) is a program that connects federal and private sector employers nationwide with highly motivated college students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through summer or permanent jobs. A recruiter from WRP will be interviewing Illinois State students that apply to the program. This opportunity is open to all majors and is for Summer 2020 internships and positions. If you are interested in applying, contact or make an appointment with your Student Access and Accommodation Services coordinator to obtain more information. Registration is due by Friday, October 11.
