Description
Gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender (GLBT) students preparing for entry into the work force are faced with career planning challenges related to their sexual orientation. GLBT students often find that college life has been a supportive environment, with many schools offering GLBT resources and nondiscrimination policies. The workplace can be quite different in terms of openness of and support for gay and lesbians. For some GLBT students, sexual orientation is an integral part of their identity, while others prefer a separation between their personal and professional lives.
