AccessComputing Student Team is Recruiting!

AccessComputing Workforce is recruiting students interested in learning about accessible technology and education. Our program provides mentoring, professional development, and more for students in computing-related fields.

The National Science Foundation Alliance AccessComputing Workforce works with students nationwide to engage them in accessibility. Designing technology with accessibility in mind benefits everyone. We can break down barriers with technology that’s accessible to people with disabilities, and employers are eager to hire professionals with these skills!

Benefits of joining the AccessComputing Workforce Team:

• Accessibility Exploration
  Learn about accessibility through webinars, resources, and discussions on topics such as accessible technology, inclusive design, assistive technology, and accessibility in education. Participants can explore how accessibility is shaping the future of computing and discover areas of interest for further study.

• Building Your Accessibility Network
  Connect with peers, mentors, educators, researchers, and professionals who are passionate about accessibility. Through community discussions, networking opportunities, and introductions to leaders in the field, participants can build relationships and become part of a growing accessibility community.

• Professional Learning & Career Development
  Students can build professional skills through workshops and individualized support from AccessComputing Workforce staff. We can provide feedback on resumes and cover letters, discuss career and graduate school pathways, help students identify research opportunities, and share information about conferences, workshops, and other opportunities to deepen their engagement with accessibility and computing.
