The National Research and Training Center on Blindness and Low Vision (NRTC) at Mississippi State University continues to seek students and professionals to participate in a nationwide Employment Mentoring Project that pairs students with legally blind mentors and offers career resources in an effort to improve employment outcomes. We are looking specifically for students graduating college or grad school between August 2013 and December 2014. Students graduating before March 2014 should sign up right away to be included in the next group! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Students must be legally blind, under age 35, living anywhere in the U.S., and seeking employment after graduation. Although finding students to participate is our greatest need, we are also seeking legally blind mentors. Do you know of anyone who might meet these qualifications and would benefit from participating? If you do, please share this information!
