> and Careers Service staff, employers and to disabled students
> themselves in relation to their development of their employability
> skills and attributes. The following are examples of the skills

> And as an incentive...
> If you submit a case study which is accepted for inclusion in the web

> disabled students to engage effectively in work experience;
> strategies implemented in the work place that have enabled disabled
> graduates to become or continue to be employed;
> issues encountered concerning disclosure of a disability and solutions found;
> good (or bad) practice regarding adjustments to the learning or working
> environment;
> examples of advertising or marketing from recruiters targeting disabled
> graduates that promotes disclosure;
> any other examples of practice that others might find useful to know about.
> How to present the information:
> We welcome case studies in a variety of formats:
> Text: no more than 250 words. Please submit as MS Word file.
