Employment Workshops

Why not try one of our new Employment workshops?

Our Works For Me programme workshops equip you with the tools to get into work. All our workshops are aimed at blind and partially sighted people who are seeking employment or a volunteering role.

Let’s Talk Jobs

This is a friendly safe space to come as a blind or partially sighted person and explore all aspects of the employment process. You might want to learn from others how they took up volunteering when unemployed. Perhaps it is accessible job searching you are interested in. Learn from others how they dealt with not getting a job. Perhaps you want practical information on using assistive technology. It is a great place to meet and share ideas or simply just listen in to others.

This session will take place on the second Monday of every month.

Where: We meet on the Teams platform: if you’ve never used Teams or want to know more please get in touch and we will explain how it all works.
