Hello Supported Employment Providers, As part of National Disability Mentoring Day (http://www.dmd-aapd.org/index.html), we are hosting a Career Mentoring Fair at the University of Vermont. This will also be part of Deaf & Disability Awareness Month at UVM (http://www.uvm.edu/~aaeo/aware04.html). The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of disability issues, especially in terms of employment. The university and general community are invited to come and learn about the untapped labor force of people with disabilities. We are inviting local agencies and schools to set up a table to inform visitors about their services and potential employees. We will also be encouraging UVM visitors to sign up as Career Mentors. Mentorship opportunities can include group tours, job shadowing, or hands-on work trials. We will be offering free coffee and breakfast to visitors and will be showing various videos on the big screens. It promises to be a very informative day! Please consider joining us and spreading the word and networking with the University of Vermont. The application form is attached as a Word Document. If you are unable to open it please let me know and I'll send it in a different format. Schools and agencies in the greater Chittenden County area are encouraged to participate. This promises to be a great way for mentorship, and hopefully employment opportunities, within the University of Vermont. The cost of the event is $25.00 per table to cover our costs.
