Blind Industries and Services of Maryland (BISM) offers a work-readiness
program for blind and low vision high school students throughout MD. Below,
please find information on this program. Please pass this information along
to any parents or students who may benefit.



The Gaining Leadership, Independence, Direction, and Experience (GLIDE)
Program will begin the 2018-2019 year with a workshop on Saturday,
September 22, 2018. This workshop will focus on career- and
self-assessment. The remaining seven workshops will address topics such as
advocacy, budgeting and finance, independent living skills, workplace
communication, college exploration, and more. The training does not stop
there. Each participant will speak with a mentor several times throughout
the month to discuss progress in school, comprise steps to accomplish
future goals, or address areas in need of improvement.



Participants may enroll anytime during the 2018-2019 school year. All
workshops are located in the Greater Baltimore area. BISM will provide all
meals, and transportation is available if needed.



I have attached PDF and Word versions of the GLIDE flyer to this email. I
can be reached at (410) 737-2642 to answer any questions.
