Counselor Kai-Chieh Chang gave a theme presentation titled "No Fear for the Job Search after Graduation: Resources for the Job Search Sharing." During the presentation, he had a discussion with students about career rebuilding, covering various aspects from job search to entering the workforce. He provided insights on how individuals with disabilities can evaluate suitable career options. Individuals with disabilities should seek employment when they are willing and ready and don't need to start the job search process too early. Additionally, he shared various job search resources and websites available to individuals with disabilities and encouraged students to make the most of the resources offered by the Counseling, Career Development and the Resource Center for the Visually Impaired. He also urged them to actively participate in related activities and develop a healthy mindset to face the challenges of the job market.

During the comprehensive discussion, students and parents raised questions and concerns, including inquiries about how to access the library's audiobook app, whether parents of students with special physical disabilities can be exempt from parking fees when picking up and dropping off their children, adjustments to assessment methods for students with disabilities, how the university assists students with intellectual disabilities in adapting to university life and learning, the mechanism for notifying parents of students suspension or withdrawal from school, and issues with the classroom in the Liberal Arts Building difficult to identify due to the missing door signs. These questions and concerns were addressed and explained by the relevant offices.
