Vanderbilt employees are being sought to mentor individuals with disabilities by allowing them to job shadow for a day.
“Disability Mentoring Day at Vanderbilt: A job-shadowing opportunity for jobseekers with disabilities” is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5.
The event is part of a national job-shadow and career exploration program designed to link students and jobseekers with disabilities to employers interested in fostering a more diverse work culture and/or hiring people with disabilities.
