For clients with special needs Alan Robertson can be contacted to assist with any careers related enquiry, regardless of year or subject of study. Alan works in partnership with the faculty careers advisers as well as the university Disability Service and other relevant agencies, to help assist students and graduates with their career planning.
Students with a disability are strongly encouraged to make an individual appointment with a careers adviser as soon as possible on joining their course here at Strathclyde. While graduation may be a number of years away it is never too soon to start to make career plans e.g. for term-time or vacation employment; to do some job sampling; to discuss subject choice issues or how best to present to employers. Adil did all of these things and is now pursuing his career with a Blue Chip company.
We have a loop system installed around the Careers Service and our website can be used with voice synthesizer software. We are also able to arrange information on braille or audio tape, to meet clients who use a wheelchair at an easily accessible location and to work through an interpreter for the deaf or typetalk. We appreciate advance notice so that we can make appropriate arrangements. The Careers Service will always endeavour to meet the needs of our students and graduates, and if you have a specific question you can E-mail Us!
