Driving Innovation through Diversity and Inclusion at NASA: STEM Internships and Vocational Rehabilitation Partnership. Policy in Action Brief
Brewer, Dave; Clayton, Jennifer D.
Institute for Educational Leadership
For Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) counselors, with funding support from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), it's important to know the essential components of a high-quality, inclusive internship program. As companies and organizations create more inclusive internship programs, VR must evaluate the accessibility of these programs, both physically and operationally. For over 50 years, NASA has provided internship programs, engaging high school and college students with diverse abilities, backgrounds, and talents. This brief highlights NASA's high-quality, inclusive internship programs and its partnership with VR in Texas. The brief also includes information and resources for VR professionals on how to recognize a high-quality, inclusive internship program, and how to encourage an employer to create a more accessible internship program for youth and young adults with disabilities.
