Federal Workforce Recruitment Program
Disability Resources and Temple University’s Career Center are recruiting students for the Federal Workforce Recruitment Program Registration for 2015. The Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) for College Students with Disabilities is a recruitment and referral program that connects public and private sector employers nationwide with highly motivated post-secondary students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to prove their abilities in the workplace through PAID summer internships or permanent jobs. The WRP provides students and veterans with disabilities in all fields of study the opportunity to market their abilities to a wide variety of potential employers across the United States.
New student participants must complete:
* resume
* cover letter
* mock interview
* transcript
* schedule A letter
A recruiter will be assigned to Temple University October 19 - November 20 to conduct interviews with interested candidates. Candidates that are accepted into the program will have the opportunity to be interviewed for federal and private sector positions. Participation is open to any student with a disability at all levels and majors, and degree programs. Veterans with a disability are especially encouraged to apply.
The deadline for the registration process is October 8th 2014

Leadership Movie Night featuring The Pursuit of Happyness
Join us for a free movie and popcorn and explore leadership through cinema with our Diamond Leaders during a post-movie discussion. All Leadership Movie Nights are located at The Reel, located in the Student Center Underground.
The featured movie is The Pursuit of Happyness. Will Smith stars in this moving tale inspired by the true story of Chris Gardner, a San Francisco salesman struggling to build a future for himself and his 5-year-old son Christopher (Jaden Smith). When his girlfriend Linda (Thandie Newton) walks out, Chris is left to raise Christopher (Jaden Smith) on his own. Chris' determination finally pays off when he lands an unpaid internship in a brutally competitive stockbroker-training program, where only one in twenty interns will make the cut. But without a salary, Chris and his son are evicted from their apartment and are forced to sleep on the streets, in homeless shelters and even behind the locked doors of a metro station bathroom. With self-confidence and the love and trust of his son, Chris Gardner rises above his obstacles to become a Wall Street legend. (Description courtesy of SonyPictures.com).

The Student Leadership Challenge is not a race, so there is no need to rush to complete your points. However, the Office of Leadership Development encourages participants to not only reach the minimum point goal of 50 points, but go on to exceed expectations and further develop your leadership capabilities.
Do you need more Leadership Diamond Points?
As you attend Student Leadership Challenge events, bring your friends! For each NEW Student Leadership Participant you bring in, you will receive 1 Leadership Diamond point.
This is a great way to encourage leadership amongst your friends and share this experience with them!
