Students who need mobility aid are offered support in moving between university facilities by student colleagues and/or auxiliary staff in order to follow the courses, go to exams, carry out bureaucratic procedures and take part in the activities of the University
Teaching
The achievement of equal opportunities in learning and study can be facilitated thanks to technological tools to be used in the classroom, and to the services offered online.
diversaMENTE facilitates the student's contacts with the teachers, both to ensure support during course attendance and exam preparation, and to identify appropriate assessment methods, providing, according to different needs, additional time, technological aids and any equivalent tests.
Through the University library, students can access digitized teaching materials (handouts, notes, videos) and, in compliance with copyright law, books in formats that make it possible to overcome any sensory and cognitive barriers. A special space on the University's teaching platform is reserved exclusively for students who apply for access. www.community.iulm.it
There are also workstations equipped with specific software for the visually impaired and dyslexics.
Internships and Placement
INTERNSHIPS
diversaMente, in collaboration with the Internship office, offers assistance in finding companies where it is possible to carry out the work experience required by the Degree Course; in evaluating offers; in preparing interviews and in defining the contract.
PLACEMENT
Law 68/99, "Rules for the right to work for people with disabilities", defines new procedures for the employment of people with disabilities, aiming to promote targeted placement and a new system based on different approaches, in order to achieve quality work placement.
IULM University is a member of the Coordinamento Atenei Lombardi per la Disabilità (CALD) which, among other initiatives, manages the CALD JOB website, a tool created to promote a network of relationships that improve the work placement of undergraduates and recent graduates belonging to protected categories.
The opening of the website does not change the mediating function of the university to which the candidate belongs, but integrates it into a wider network, thereby increasing its effectiveness.
It should be noted that placement is also possible for orphaned students, refugees, victims of terrorism and the like, in accordance with art. 18 of Law 68/99. Contact us.
DIVERSITALAVORO facilitates the employment of people belonging to traditionally discriminated categories, developing specific skills and innovative solutions for companies and the labour market, from research and selection to training, from orientation to the concretization of positive actions.
