        abstract = {Because of experiencing discrimination, denial, stress, and rejection from prospective
employers, disabled university graduates struggle to find jobs. By interviewing eight
participants and conducting a focus group discussion with them at Sunan Kalijaga
State Islamic University Yogyakarta, the findings revealed that the teaching procedures
in larger inclusive classrooms seemed to be a barrier for most disabled university
students. Consequently, the students needed vocational training in addition to
their courses before integrating into the workforce. Recalling when being students,
these disabled university graduates found it difficult to prepare for jobs that required
math or science because their university courses had not included assistance with different
kinds of media. Additionally, they did not feel prepared for writing curriculum
vitae and preparing job applications. They indicated that the university setting did
not prepare them to deal with the typically fierce competition in job markets. They
also found getting a job in the labor market to be difficult because a scarcity of formal
employment opportunities suitable to their fields, and employers do not provide
feedback or even any reply at all, to their job applications. In summary, academic,
social, cultural, economic, psychological barriers, and discriminatory practices were
encountered for disabled university graduates seeking employment.}
