October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), and Austin Community College (ACC) is celebrating with a full month of career-focused events designed to help you prepare for your future.
Whether you identify as having a disability or not, all Riverbats are welcome — no disclosure of disability is required to participate. These sessions are created and hosted by Access & Disability Services and Career Services teams at ACC to give you tools, confidence, and connections that can make a difference in your job search.
The series wraps up with a special Reverse Career Fair at Highland Campus, where we flip the tables — giving you the chance to meet and interview disability-friendly employers to find out about the opportunities they offer and get their advice for your career path.
