| The many excellent career development
and planning services available to all students at Buffalo State College
are extended to students with disabilities. The programs and staff
have a sensitivity to the sometimes difficult issues that arise as
students face concerns about the impact of their disability on their
planned career, questions in interviews about their disabilities,
and resume and cover letter formats that showcase the student’s
strengths.
Internship
and Recruitment Support
Many students at Buffalo State College participate
in internships or part-time employment related to their career objectives.
These activities are coordinated through the Career Development
Office. It is especially important for students with disabilities
to participate in internships where they can develop skills, learn
to advocate for their needs in the workplace and acquire experience
that will help them as they seek employment after graduation.
Officials in the Career Development Office are
specially trained to provide students guidance on career choices
appropriate to their abilities and interests, preparation of résumés,
accommodations that may be necessary in the internship or employment
setting, interviewing skills, and the issues surrounding when and
how a student may need to disclose his/her disability to an employer.
