Hi all, 

I participated in the full Career Launch program last autumn where I gained valuable skills, and the gentleman providing lessons is a wonderful tech trainer! My apologies for the short notice, though there are still spots to sign up, and this would be a course to look forward to starting Monday or soon after. Please contact me off-list, should you want to talk about my experience with this. 

Thank you, and have a good day. 

Rachna

Career Launch @ Perkins is offering two biz tech boot camps in August, and we would love to offer NABS members no-cost spots in either week! You get one week of training in the Google or MS Suite (or take both) with our experienced teachers and curriculum pulled from our larger/longer Career Launch training program. 

Our mission is to help young adults with visual impairments gain the skills they need to land jobs they job. There is no cost for either week of programming. More information is below. 

Get the tech skills you need for the job you want.

Career Launch @ Perkins:

 <https://perkins.cmail19.com/t/d-i-quyhua-l-d/> Get the tech skills you need for the job you want.

Tech skills are essential for landing and succeeding in career-track jobs.

And  <https://perkins.cmail19.com/t/d-i-quyhua-l-h/> our business tech bootcamp sessions are designed to help you become more proficient in the technologies most commonly used in the workplace: Google Suite and Microsoft Suite. 

While many tech trainings simply teach access to these programs, participants in our sessions will learn the basics of how to use the technology and apply the knowledge to become more effective and efficient at work.

 <https://perkins.cmail19.com/t/d-i-quyhua-l-k/> Each virtual, week-long session will be taught by Brian Switzer, Career Launch's Assistive Technology Instructor, with work based on the successful tech curriculum in our larger Career Launch program.

These test-drive sessions are  <https://perkins.cmail19.com/t/d-i-quyhua-l-u/> free for qualified candidates, but spots are limited – each session can accommodate only 10 participants.

Interested?  <https://perkins.cmail19.com/t/d-i-quyhua-l-o/> Apply now and a member of the Career Launch team will be in touch soon to follow up.

Ready to launch? Join us for an info session.
