Opportunity to Network with Future Employers!

Street Sign that reads, Work

Career Opportunities for Students with Disabilities is proud to produce “The COSD-AT&T Summit for Career Exploration.” This event is designed to bring together up to 60 invited college students with disabilities attending higher education institutions and 10 invited Tennessee-based and national employers.

FULL ACCESS is unique in that it brings together employers to meet with students, not in a career fair, but in a relaxed informal environment that allows both students and employers to be comfortable with each other.  For the students, it allows them the closest contact they will have with employers specifically seeking them.

In our unusual format, students get to choose their top three employers and we, at COSD, match them up to their choices as much as possible.  With those assignments, up to six students, at a time, go to a meeting room that is hosted by that preferred employer for a one hour informal discussion.  Questions and discussion are encouraged from both sides and the feedback we have received from students and employers has been extremely positive.

The COSD-AT&T FULL ACCESS: Student Summit for Career Exploration is composed of two half-day sessions, starting at 12 noon on Sunday, September 21st and ending at 2 pm Monday, September 22nd.  Interested students and employers should contact Alan Muir at 865-974-7148 or via e-mail at amuir@tennessee.edu to receive further information about the event and how to register.
