Workforce Recruitment Program for Students with Disabilities

The Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) is returning this fall! WRP connects college students and recent graduates with disabilities with federal agencies seeking candidates for internships and permanent employment. Selected participants are included in a federal talent database for one year, allowing federal employers to identify and contact candidates based on their skills and qualifications.

Who is eligible?

Current undergraduate or graduate students with disabilities and recent graduates who earned a postsecondary degree on or after April 1, 2024, may apply. Applicants must be U.S. citizens eligible for the federal Schedule A hiring authority.

Strengthen Your Work Experience

By participating in WRP, you can:

  • Get access to Federal Government jobs and internships nationwide. Employers can contact you directly about positions that match your skills and qualifications.
  • Participate in career development activities. Take your resume and application to the next level.
  • Expand your knowledge of Federal Government employment, including the Schedule A hiring authority for people with disabilities.
  • Explore career and disability services resources at your school to support your WRP application.
