Starting your career is exciting, but it can also bring big questions about how to advocate for your needs, especially if you’re navigating a disability, exploring whether to disclose one, or learning how to speak up for yourself. This webinar offers practical guidance for graduate students and emerging professionals who want to enter the job market with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of self.

Join GSNPCOP and CD for a session facilitated by the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD). We will break down what self‑advocacy during graduate school and the transition to the workforce can look like across the job search, interview process, onboarding, and early career roles. We’ll explore strategies for communicating your needs, understanding your rights, requesting accommodations, and building supportive relationships in both academic and professional environments. Whether you have a disability, are newly exploring your needs, or simply want to be better prepared for your professional journey, this session will equip you with tools to thrive from day one.
