Accessibility for job interviews

For people who are deaf, deafblind or hard of hearing, job interviews often pose a unique challenge.

Many potential employers who haven't worked with someone who is deaf, deafblind or hard of hearing are not sure how to coordinate accessibility. They may not even be aware of their obligation to provide accessibility accommodations.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services Division has an Employer Resources page to help!

The Deaf Resource Center is also offering ASL interpreters for job interviews for a limited time. You can find more information on Deaf Resource Center's Facebook page.

Do you have questions about employer obligations to provide access? You can contact us.
