Are you interested in working in the Federal government for the summer or after you graduate? If so, consider participating in the Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP). 

 

Workforce Recruitment Program for highly-motivated students with disabilities (coordinated by the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Department of Defense).  

 

The WRP is a recruitment and referral program that connects federal and select private-sector employers with highly motivated college students, graduate students, and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through summer or permanent jobs. 

 

Eligible students must: 

- have a disability and be eligible under the Schedule A hiring authority 

- be a United States citizen 

- be currently enrolled in a degree program on a substantially full-time basis OR have graduated with a degree on or after April 1, 2018. 

 

Please note that candidates must reapply each program year to continue to participate.
