“…During their undergraduate studies, these students had participated in a Federally-funded academic and career enrichment project implemented by several of the authors of this article. The jobs that these participants held at the time of this study were obtained as part of the placement component of the grant-funded project [20], and they represented participants' first steps into their chosen professions. Success or failure at this juncture in their careers would have significant implications for their long-term ability to manage a personal career while coping with the effects of TBI, hence the need to adopt a holistic and contextual perspective on barriers to workplace accessibility and performance of essential functions and the accommodation plans needed to reduce or remove these barriers.…”

“…Students with TBI attending higher education institutions face many challenges that other students without TBI may not during the transition from high school or the military into academia and from academia to employment. The complications young adults (ages [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] with TBI face include dealing with the impact of the injury at a time when they are learning new skills, completing academic requirements, and making career plans [16,17]. Veterans with TBI face similar experiences as they return to civilian life and update their skills by continuing their education [18].…”

“…The goal of the Project Career demonstration project is to develop, implement, and demonstrate a technologydriven, long-term, and resource-rich individualized support program. It merges the use of cognitive support technology (CST) and vocational rehabilitation (VR) practices to improve the career readiness and long-term employment outcomes of civilian and veteran post-secondary students with TBI [2]. The Project attains this goal through the (1) psychometric evaluation of postsecondary students with TBI relative to their assistive technology, personal, academic, and career objectives and needs; (2) provision of CST training to 150 students over the 5-year demonstration; (3) matching students with mentors; (4) provision of vocational case management; (5) provision of job development and placement assistance; and (6) provision of an electronic portal regarding accommodation and career resources.…”
