Want to become more competitive in the challenging transition from study to career?

Here is your Opportunity!!!
UniSA Disability Services will fund 15 places in the Willing and Able Mentoring (WAM) Program in 2011.


WAM is a career mentoring program for tertiary students who have a disability.
WAM was started in response to many people with a disability being overlooked for career opportunities, despite being as talented as their peers.


The (WAM) Program matches tertiary students who have a disability with Mentors in leading organisations in the students' field of interest.


Applicants must be available for a training workshop, then six to eight mentor sessions at the mentor's workplace, and a debriefing and certificate presentation event at the end of the program.


Meetings with the Mentor are focussed on:
• Gathering information about the career environment you are heading towards
• Refining interview skills
• Experiencing the workplace culture (eg. staff meetings)
• Developing better skills in presenting a professional profile
• Disclosure and demistifying disability and related workplace issues (eg. workplace modifications)

How Do I apply??
To apply, simply write a statement in 100 words or less why it would be useful for you to join the WAM program. Email your statement or any queries to disability@unisa.edu.au  before Monday 11th April 2011.
If you are accepted, you will be asked to fill out a WAM application form.
