Technology-related Internships for Students with Disabilities


Are you a high school or college student with a disability?
Would you like to gain valuable experience through paid internships and other work-related opportunities?
Are you interested in computing careers?

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington and DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) sponsor the AccessComputing project for the purpose of increasing the participation of people with disabilities in computing careers. It is funded by the National Science Foundation (award #CNS-0540615, CNS-0837508, and CNS-1042260). AccessComputing provides a nationwide resource to help students with disabilities pursue computing fields and computing educators and employers, professional organizations, and other stakeholders develop more inclusive programs and share effective practices.
