5. Career Development and Full Employment Opportunity (continued)

• Colleges and universities develop aggressive outreach programs to specifically market students with disabilities to employers, and develop specific mechanisms for following up with both the student and the employer on the success of the match. Part of such an effort could include setting up local councils of career counseling staff, students with disabilities and local business people to investigate both internship for credit and permanent job placement possibilities.


• In order to offer a full range of services and expertise to colleges and universities in working with students with disabilities, postsecondary education institutions form ongoing partnerships with the existing rehabilitation community. That community includes state vocational and rehabilitation agencies, agencies for the blind and visually handicapped and other existing community based organizations.


• The State Education Department ensures that the vocational rehabilitation system, in conjunction with colleges and universities, develops a systemic approach to serving eligible college students with disabilities in a timely fashion consistent with the policies adopted by the New York State Board of Regents in November 1996.
