LA VISTA, Neb. (KMTV) – Students with disabilities got hands-on experience from 63 area employers during the Omaha Project Search job fair.
They learned about appropriate social media use, dressing for success, and practiced interview skills.
The job fair is specifically designed to provide students with disabilities job exploration, workplace readiness training, and self-advocacy.
“Students are able to try their hand at the different skills that it takes to see if that’s where their interest lies,” said Sara Hansen of Nebraska Department of Education Vocational Rehabilitation.
