[Blindtlk] Employment Question...

[Judy Jones]

It sounds like your questions are almost too general to answer.  Decide on a 
blindness field you wish to enter.  Most require a Masters degree, depending 
the location.

Dear friends,

    This may be a question who’s answer is too involved for the general 
list, but if someone would like to assist me off line, please feel free! 
jameskelm at earthlink.net  I would love to hear from someone from an agency, 
or other type of professional that works with this issue regularly.

    I will soon be attaining my Masters degree, and once that course of 
study is finished, I am looking toward other areas in which I can gain 
further employability for myself.  I have heard that a number of agencies, 
including some within my own state, are looking for a number of certified 
instructors.  From what I have gathered, mobility instructors, Braille 
instructors, and others are needed.  My question is two fold.

    Firstly, what are some of the certifications that I could consider, that 
are commonly most needed within the field of rehabilitation for the blind?

    Secondly, what is involved in one acquiring such certification?

    Thank you for your help!
