Virtual Career Exploration Fair:

The Virtual Career Exploration Fair, hosted by our National Employment
Committee in collaboration with our national divisions, connects blind
people with professionals working across a wide range of industries. 

Society's misconceptions about the careers blind people can pursue are
limiting and lack imagination. This event highlights the diversity of career
options available, connects blind people with professionals working in
diverse professions, and provides strategies to pursue and succeed in a
career of choice.
