This practice centres on the knowledge and resources that already exist within a campus. Through it, post-secondary institutions will look into creating more formal connection points and opportunities for knowledge sharing, so employees of these institutions know how to satisfy student needs when such needs fall outside a particular employee’s area of expertise. Institutions may have informal conversations already, but this practice enables them to be more intentional about collaboration across their campuses.

This practice enables those who host career events to see them—and therefore design them—through an accessibility lens. Otherwise, event planners leave out an entire population of students who may not be able to participate and engage in such events in meaningful ways. Designing events with accessibility in mind unlocks employment opportunities for a greater number of students and gives employers a chance to tap into a labour pool they may not have considered.

This practice emphasizes the steps students with disabilities follow on their journeys to obtaining meaningful employment after post-secondary education.

This practice focuses on enriching the accessible employment experience through the implementation of the functions of an Employment Pathway Facilitator (EPF). The EPF is a student service that provides a space for students to speak about or explore their employment journeys as they relate to their actual lived experiences as students with disabilities.
