Hi all,

 

Please see below for an awesome summer job opportunity!

 

 

 

Staff Application Announcement 

BISM Gold STAR Summer Program Staffing Position Open!

 

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
