If the college provides Career-Related Learning then they must provide these opportunities in a nondiscriminatory manner. Assurances that employers participating in any on-the-job training also do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability should also be obtained for all work experiences, work-study, apprenticeship, and/or other career-related learning.
