Departmental Overview 
The Disabled Students' Program (DSP) is recognized for its commitment to
ensuring that all students with disabilities have equal access to
educational opportunities at UC Berkeley and helps students to achieve
academic and personal success through its programs. DSP offers a wide range
of services for students with disabilities. These services are individually
designed, and based on the specific needs of each student. With more than
850 students enrolled in our programs, a staff of over 30 FTEs, 400
independent contractors, and over a dozen specialized limited staff and
students, DSP is the second largest amongst the other Disabled Student
Service Programs in the entire UC system, and the Workability IV Program
(WAIV) is just one of the many unique programs offered at DSP. 

The Workability IV Program is a DSP initiative providing employment
placement services for DSP students with disabilities who are also
registered clients of the California Department of Rehabilitation (DOR).
The purpose of the WAIV program is to assist eligible graduating DSP
students with their employment quest. Each year, approximately 50-80
students with disabilities are counseled and assisted with their job
searches, including locating and reaching out to potential employers for
their employment. This incumbent is the coordinator of the WAIV program and
is responsible for planning, developing, and implementing programs and
activities focused on achieving eligible students' career placement. This is

Rehabilitation and has been recently expanded to include an internship
program, higher placements expectations and a comprehensive employment
education program.

permanent jobs

internship policy 
. Develop and maintain necessary reports and financial records, and devise a
strategy for documenting the key elements of this new program model in order
to effectively disseminate this information to other Universities across the
state and nation. 

The WAIV Program Coordinator is also expected to apply advanced professional
career counseling concepts, conduct strategic needs assessment of gaps in
the career program, and plan and develop program improvements and new career
services to help students/alumni in career planning, career goal setting,
