The Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) is a recruitment and referral program that connects federal and private sector employers with highly motivated college students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through summer or permanent jobs. The program is coordinated by the Office of Disability Employment PolicyÌýand the U.S. Department of Defense.

If you are interestedÌýin learning more about WRP (and eating free pizza), please plan to attend the Oct. 4 information session.
