Released on the International Day of Disabled Persons, a new online resource from Mobility International USA/National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange titled “Preparing for an International Career: Pathways for People with Disabilities” encourages young adults with international interests to explore careers in the international affairs, exchange and development fields. As one International Affairs graduate, who is blind, shares, “The Berlin Wall fell when I was in high school, and I had a world history teacher who gave us global current events every single day of class. I thought, ‘Wow, what an interesting time to be alive. How wonderful if I could have a career affecting it in some way.’”

This downloadable booklet, highlights different types of international occupations, job prospects, tips to prepare for an international career, insights from role models and emerging leaders with disabilities in these fields, and the international exchange and fellowship programs they participated in to get them where they are today.
