Doing an internship with a disability or support issue

Especially in higher education studies, internships are an important part of your studies. Some university courses also offer internships. Sometimes you can use some extra support during the transition from study to internship if you have a disability or special needs. For example, you may face dilemmas such as: do I mention my disability or not when applying for a job? Or maybe you are not sure how best to deal with your disability during your internship. There are also several persons and/or organisations that may be able to help you with this.

 

Check the help guide for organisations which can help you with inclusive internships.
