Tips To help students feel comfortable with potentially disclosing a disability or challenge, you could ask every candidate the following interview question: “What type of work environment or tools/resources help you perform best?”.
|
Questions Students Consider
- How/when should I disclose my disabilities?
- What is a “reasonable accommodation?”
- What should I do if I’m discriminated against during an interview?
- Do I need to disclose anything before I sign a hiring contract?
The Olitsky Family Foundation Career Readiness Program The goal of the Olitsky Family Foundation Career Readiness Program is to break down the barriers-of-entry for students with emotional and cognitive differences in their career-search process.

International & DACA Students
With approximately 40% of students at Carnegie Mellon coming from outside of the US, we understand that many students who choose to study in the US will choose to seek jobs in the US upon graduation. International students bring a unique global perspective to complex issues, making them ideal assets to employers. They are adaptable, ready to take on challenges, are often multilingual, and possess multicultural skills that will help them excel in diverse workplaces.
