Are you a UVic student who self-identifies as having a disability and/or mental health challenge?

ConnectAble is a peer-focused support program designed to help you navigate co-op job searching in a way that honours your lived experience.

Through community connection, peer support, and personalized guidance, ConnectAble creates space for students to explore opportunities, build confidence, and feel supported every step of the way.

This session will introduce the ConnectAble program, share how it supports students with disabilities and mental health challenges, and offer space to ask questions in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
