Career Development Learning

Educational activities and resources that develop students' capabilities for transitioning from higher education to employment, including self-awareness, opportunity awareness, decision-making, and transition skills. For students with disabilities, accessible career development learning addresses unique challenges such as navigating inaccessible recruitment platforms, disclosing disability to employers, requesting workplace accommodations, understanding legal rights, and building professional identity inclusive of disability. Best practice principles for disability-inclusive CDL include embedding it into the curriculum across the student lifecycle, ensuring equitable access, designing for diverse cohorts, and co-designing with students who have lived experience of disability.
