Able After Dal: Job & Career Supports

Accessibility & Employment: Career Event for Students with Disabilities

Are you a student with a disability looking to explore career opportunities in a supportive, accessible environment? Join Dalhousie's Career Services & Student Accessibility Centre on February 26 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for an Able After Dal career event designed to connect you directly with employers who value diversity and inclusion. This event provides a tailored experience for students who may face challenges in attending the Dalhousie Job & Career Fair. For more information about the event as well as registration details visit the Dalhousie events calendar. 


The Student Accessibility Centre and Career Services has launched a new program called "Able After Dal," a job and career supports program for students with disabilities at any stage on the path to employment. This includes students who are exploring experience-based learning (e.g. Co-op positions or internships), part-time or summer jobs, or post-graduation career opportunities.

Able After Dal will offer students a variety of programming, resources, and information about workplace rights and accommodations, opportunities to engage with inclusive employers, and connections with Student Access Advisors and Career Advisors who can support you in taking next steps towards your goals. 

Advisors can support students with any questions about the following topics:

  • Deciding About Disclosing a Disability to an Employer
  • Accommodations in the Workplace
  • Knowing Your Rights
  • Assessing Employer Accessibility 
  • And more!

You can also view our Accessibility & Employment: A Panel Discussion With Employers & Students session from February 2024.
