The "Deaf Mentor Video Series" features professionals who are deaf or hard of hearing discussing their career development and experiences in the workplace.  By viewing the video series, students will have the opportunity to develop an understanding of the career world as well as job requirements, and the challenges and rewards of different fields.

The series consists of five videotapes: education, social and behavior sciences, arts and entertainment, science and technical fields, and business.

Videos are appropriate for students in high school or college, and work well in a career library or as a teaching tool.  Each video is divided into 5 chapters covering the career planning process:

• Career Exploration and Choice
• Influence of Deafness
• Career Preparation
• Career Ladder
• Career Satisfaction

We Need YOU!
We have a common goal: to help students who are deaf and hard-of-hearing to establish and reach their goals in career world.  We are looking for deaf and hard-of-hearing professionals who are willing to donate their time to help students understand the process of developing their career paths by discussing their accomplishments and experiences in the employment arena.  This can occur in two ways:

• If you work in one of the four career fields listed above and you could be interviewed for future Deaf Mentor Videotapes.
• You can to participate in ICC’s “Career Consultants” Mentoring Program. Mentoring can occur face-to-face, or via telephone or the internet.

Increasing Career Choices for Individuals who are Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (ICC) is a three-year federal grant from the Rehabilitation Services Administration that focuses on expanding the career knowledge of college students who are deaf and hard of hearing.  ICC is located at National Center on Deafness at Cal State Northridge and provides a variety of services such as career counseling, job placement, student workshops and employer training.
