[Job-Listings] BISM Gold STAR Program

[Jackson, Delores Nikki]

Gold STAR Staff Application Deadline Coming Up!

BISM is excited to introduce the Gold STAR Program!



This fully residential program will provide blind and low vision students with a 4-week Work Based Learning Experience (e.g. customized employment and training plan). Students will reside in apartment style housing with their Blind peers while working in a professional environment and receiving nonvisual skills training from competent Blind professionals. The work experience will provide students with a first-hand perspective of professional environments and the responsibilities that come with a career. The nonvisual skills (i.e. Braille, Technology, Orientation & Mobility, Independent Living, and Job Readiness) will introduce the students to a roadmap for independence.



As a Gold STAR Program Staffer, your role will be to serve as an instructor, leader, and mentor to the students. Applications should be submitted by April 1, 2024. Interviews will be conducted via Zoom and are anticipated to take place in mid-April.



All offers of employment will be contingent upon a successful comprehensive background check.



Program location: Baltimore, Maryland (you do not need to reside in Maryland to apply as a staffer)

Program Dates:  July 13 to August 9, 2024 (including weekends)

Staff Training: TBD based on staff availability
Pay for 4-week staffing: $3,000 to $3,500
