Mentors help students with disabilities

In October 2011, the Center for Disabilities Studies partnered with the city of Newark and local businesses to host the local component of this national program that connects about 20,000 students and job seekers with disabilities to employers and businesses for on-site job shadowing and career exploration. Fifteen young adults with disabilities  participated in Delaware’s third annual Disability Mentoring Day, with each participant provided a  job-shadowing experience on campus or in the community.
