Career Resources for Individuals with Disabilities

You have the skills, experience, personal qualities, and enthusiasm an employer is looking for. You might also have a disability. If this is the case, it’s important to take some additional steps to ensure a successful job search. Our staff can help students and alumni with various disabilities explore and implement career goals and opportunities.

If you have a disability that impacts your ability to take a standardized test, you may be eligible for accommodations. Contact information for various standardized tests is detailed below.

If you plan to request an accommodation for a standardized test, don’t forget that requests must be made early. Many standardized tests require extensive documentation, and often the approval process is quite long. Updated information or new testing may be required as documentation already on file at UNH may not be sufficient. You will want to check with the appropriate organization to determine what is the appropriate evaluating group.

女性职业资源

Women have made great strides in education and the workplace.  More women are pursuing higher education, and the percentages of women in both the workforce and management roles continues to increase.

However, there is still more to do. As noted on Equal Pay Challenge:  

“Nearly 50 years after President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act, on average women are still paid less than their male counterparts for doing comparable jobs – that’s called the pay gap. It means that each time the average woman starts a new job, she’s likely to start from a lower base salary, but it also means that over time the pay gap between her and her male colleagues is likely to become wider and wider.

“For the average working woman, the pay gap means $150 less in her weekly paycheck, $8,000 less at the end of the year, and $380,在她的一生中少了1000美元. For women of color and women with disabilities, the disparity is even bigger.”

Use your time at UNH to prepare for your career: explore internship and volunteer experiences, pursue leadership opportunities, research, network, find mentors, and take advantage of Career and Professional Success.
