As of September 19, the Forsythe Center for Entrepreneurship is open for enrollment. The goal of this new business, entrepreneurship and technology program is to provide individuals who are visually impaired with the knowledge, resources and networking opportunities enabling them to advance in their careers or to successfully launch and grow their own businesses. 
 
Ten courses are open for enrollment as of today:

 Self-Employment with a Minimal Investment 
 Business Fundamentals 
 Business Communications 
 Business Law 1 
 Business Law 2 
 Business Writing 
 Using Excel 
 Screen Readers: Listening Skills 
 Screen Readers: Web Browsing 
 Screen Readers: Formatting Word Documents
Six new modules are also open for enrollment:

Market Research 
The Financial Plan 
The Marketing Plan 
The Business Plan 
Business Insurance 
Forms of Ownership
Hadley is embarking upon this program, in part, to address the deplorable employment rate among people who are visually impaired. Although statistics vary somewhat, the most reliable data sources suggest that the under- or unemployment rate of persons who are blind or visually impaired is 70%-80%.  
The program is designed to be practical, relevant and interactive. Courses are open to anyone who is blind or visually impaired, over age 14 and is serious about starting or growing a business. Coursework is offered free of charge and is mostly online.
