Mentorship and professional development for college students and recent graduates with disabilities.
NextGen Leaders
NextGen Leaders are college students and recent graduates with disabilities, including veterans, who represent sought-after talent by Disability:IN’s 550+ Corporate Partner companies.
NextGen Leaders have the opportunity to connect with leading brands across all industries, and are matched one-on-one with mentors from Disability:IN Corporate Partners for a six-month virtual mentoring relationship including opportunities to connect with recruiters from leading companies.
“Being part of Disability:IN’s NextGen program was such a rewarding experience! The program gave me practical skills while introducing me to a community of passionate people who are all about supporting each other. From leadership training to building connections with mentors, it was empowering to grow both professionally and personally. I walked away feeling more confident in my career path and proud to be part of a group that truly values inclusion.”
