5 Things to Do to Prepare for Your WRP Interview By Guest Blogger Sara Mahoney, Business Development Specialist, U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Disability Employment Policy The Workforce Recruitment Program for College Students and Recent Graduates with Disabilities (WRP) is a recruitment and referral program that connects federal and private sector employers nationwide with highly motivated college students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to prove their abilities in the workplace through summer or permanent jobs. The WRP is an excellent way for students and recent graduates with disabilities in all fields of study and of all grade and degree levels to market their abilities to a wide variety of potential employers across the United States, as well as sharpen their interviewing skills. The way the program works is pretty simple. Coordinators at campuses nationwide register during the spring semester to help arrange interviews for students the following fall. Federal employees are trained as volunteer WRP recruiters and recruitment assignments are made over the summer. Soon after the fall semester starts, the candidates begin to sign up with designated campus coordinators to complete the registration and application process. If you are not sure who your school’s campus coordinator is, email wrp at dol.gov to find out who to contact on your campus.
