Foundations for Employment with Sight Loss: Summer Series

Are you thinking about work, but unsure where to start—or how your vision loss might impact your options? This 9-week workshop series supports job seekers with sight loss in exploring employment, building confidence, and developing practical skills for the workplace. Through interactive, discussion-based sessions, participants will explore possible career paths, reflect on their strengths, and learn how to match their skills with job opportunities.Topics include workplace rights, disclosure, accommodations, assistive technology, transportation, professional presence, and navigating conversations about support needs.

The series will conclude with work-readiness assessment tools to help participants create a realistic plan for next steps in their journey. Sessions are supportive, flexible, and designed to meet you where you are—whether you're just starting to think about work or actively job searching. This series is available to participants of the Come to Work program. If you’re not yet registered, we’re happy to help you get connected.
