[Nightingale, Noel]

From www.wrp.gov

The Workforce Recruitment Program for College Students with Disabilities
(WRP) is a recruitment and referral program that connects federal sector
employers nationwide with highly motivated postsecondary students and
recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to prove their
abilities in the workplace through summer or permanent jobs.
Co-sponsored by the Department of Labor (ODEP) and the Department of
Defense with the participation of about 20 other federal agencies, the
WRP has provided employment opportunities for nearly 3,000 students
since 1995.
In 2007, 67 recruiters from 15 federal agencies visited about 250
college campuses nationwide, resulting in a database containing
application information on about 2,000 students with disabilities. The
students represent all majors, and range from college freshmen to
graduate students and law students. In 2006, 350 students were reported
as being hired, the majority in summer jobs, in 17 different agencies.
