OHIO Eastern has partnered with Ohio Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD). Through the Ohio College2Careers (C2C) program, OOD partners with Ohio colleges and universities to ensure students with disabilities have the support they need to complete degrees, attain credentials, earn higher wages, and meet the demands of tomorrow’s workforce.
Services
Our Ohio C2C counselors are located in the disability services or career services office at each partnership school to help students with the following:
- Exploring careers
- Leveraging assistive technology
- Building résumés and preparing for interviews
- Finding internships & permanent employment
- Navigating OhioMeansJobs resources
- Connecting to our expansive employer partner network
Eligibility
OOD serves individuals with physical, intellectual, sensory, and mental health disabilities. An Ohio C2C counselor at your campus disability services office can help determine if you are eligible for services.
If your school is not on the list of participating colleges and universities below, OOD may still be able to support you in getting and keeping employment. Visit www.OODWorks.com(opens in a new window) to learn about vocational rehabilitation, take a short self-assessment, and start the application process.
Financial Support for College Students
The OOD Education Support Funds are a financial investment in students with disabilities on their educational journeys.
All eligible college and nontraditional students with disabilities will receive financial assistance while participating in OOD services, to be used for tuition or educational expenses during the current term.
