Hi Kane,
Did you chase them down yet?  My ddavis at blindinc.org is going away this
week, and my new one is dickblind at gmail.com.
Thanks,
Dick Davis

This is something that definitely did not originate with the NFB.  Yet it is
deeply interesting to me, and I think that in today's changing political and
labor climate, apprenticeship could play a small role in a larger plan to
get more blind people (especially young adults) into the workforce.  Today,
I personally know several just in my small pocket of the world (Northern
Indiana) who would jump all over an opportunity like this.

I have heard recently that apprenticeships are being employed successfully
in Germany, at least, for the benefit of people who are blind.

Enjoy.

Our friends at the Partnership on Inclusive
Apprenticeship<https://inclusiveapprenticeship.org/> (PIA) are seeking input
from people with disabilities (ages 16 and older) about their views on
apprenticeship programs. Their aim is to better understand how they can help
design inclusive apprenticeship programs that enable people with
disabilities to gain credentials and skills to succeed in growing
industries.
If you are interested in providing your input, complete PIA’s
questionnaire<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2HMWS6S> by Friday, May 14th at
5 PM EST. We also encourage you to share this information with others who
may want to complete the questionnaire.
If you have questions, please reach out to Josh Christianson, Program
Director at PIA
Josh at inclusiveapprenticeship.org<mailto:Josh at inclusiveapprenticeship.org>.
