The Washington State School for the Blind is recruiting working 
professionals, businesses, work and volunteer sites, and agency 
representatives to partner with in preparation for our annual Career Fair 
February 27-28.  This multi-day event will include guest speakers and 
workshop sessions on campus Wednesday, February 27, and site visits to local 
businesses, training centers, and volunteer sites on Thursday, February 28.

We are currently looking for community members to help in one of two 
capacities:

*        Lead a small group discussion or workshop on employability skills, 
professionalism, college readiness, employer expectations, community 
engagement, independent living, or other area of expertise.  We will plan 
for 30-45 minutes for this meeting, which can take place on campus or on a 
conference call between 1:00-2:30 p.m. on 2/27.

*        Host a job or volunteer site visit.  Students will be traveling in 
groups of 5-6 with staff to various workplaces, training centers, and 
volunteer sites on 2/28.  A successful visit would include a tour of the 
facility, discussion of the various jobs employees on site do and any 
required degree or training, discussion of workplace expectations and 
desired employability skills.  WSSB can schedule tours between the hours of 
8:30 am and 1 pm.
