Join us at the 7th Annual Job Fair for Individuals with Visual Impairments.
This unique, free event will connect you to an untapped pool of
candidates and prepare you to employ workers who are visually
impaired.
At Perkins, we know that people who are blind or visually impaired are
just as qualified for the world of work as their sighted peers. And
yet any adults who are blind find themselves out of work and unable to
secure an interview despite their capabilities. On October 25 we will
bring these qualified candidates face to face with recruiters and
representatives from dozens of respected nonprofits and businesses.
The result is an afternoon of proactive networking and conversation,
where candidates are judged by their knowledge and experience, not
their disability.
