When I began my first co-op work term with the Government of Canada I was thrilled by the inclusiveness of my team.  I was further delighted to have been able to join the Employment Opportunity for Students with Disabilities program. I have completed two co-op work terms and one FSWEP term and throughout each I have join various information session and speed mentoring events. Through the program I met federal public servants who live with disabilities, each of whom provided valuable career guidance and advice. Without the Employment Opportunity for Students with Disabilities Program I would not have had the opportunity to connect with other students with disabilities and mentors. It is a fantastic program. I hope to one day shift within it from mentee to mentor and pay forward all that I have gratefully gained.  <br>

An experience during which I had the opportunity to learn a great deal about administrative roles and tasks. I'm hearing-impaired and I was lucky enough to be supervised by very professional people who were also very good listeners, patient and empathetic. When the time came for the internship to end, I was very sad. I wish I'd still been in this environment, where I'd learned more than just hard work devoid of human qualities. I was able to learn the nuts and bolts of employee interaction in a high-level professional environment. In fact, I'd have a lot of positive things to say, despite the rare moments when I felt a little lost. An experience to be repeated with pleasure.<br>

At the Library of Parliament, we are passionate about contributing to Canadian parliamentary democracy by creating, managing and delivering authoritative, reliable and relevant information and knowledge for Parliament. To be effective our organization needs people who represent diverse identities, cultures, perspectives and experiences. The Federal Student Work Experience Program has been a great tool for us in this regard. Just last summer we were able to hire a student with lived experience of disability. They did great work for us! Their contributions to the team related to refining our research questions, exploring different sources of information, integrating new perspectives, drafting content and making information products more accessible were invaluable. I think as well, the Library was able to offer them a rewarding summer work experience. They experienced up close how Parliament works, and the importance of reliable and relevant information in the democratic process. <br>
