Transition to the job
Practical phases/transition to a career
Students with disabilities may find it somewhat more difficult to find a suitable position for the practical phases of their degree programme. Make use of the support of the Career Service - also in cooperation with me/us.
The same applies when looking for a job after graduation.
Starting a career with a mental illness is a big challenge - how do I deal with my illness? Can I be open or do I keep it to myself? How resilient am I?
But career starters with other impairments also ask themselves: Do I say it? (external link, opens in a new window) The website offers decision-making aids, explains rights and draws attention to where support might be available.
The homepages of the respective self-help organisations also provide valuable tips on starting a career and occasionally suitable job advertisements.
Support is also available:
Programme “InklusionsGuides”
The world of work is often not inclusive for women with disabilities. This is why the Hildegardis Association is launching the innovative "InklusionsGuides" project, which brings employers and women with disabilities together. The "InklusionsGuides" change the perspective by having female students and graduates with disabilities act as advisors to support companies in making their recruitment and working environment more gender-equitable and inclusive.
The programme, which was launched in cooperation with Aktion Mensch, provides for two rounds. Twelve female students/graduates and six employers can take part in each of these two "guidance phases". The inclusion guides (two graduates or students with disabilities each) advise a selected company over the course of a year.
