Subject: [Transition-Council] NIB Business Fellowship Applications Due April
20

***

Colleagues, 

Once every two years a small crop of individuals is selected for an
outstanding fellowship in business development.  Each fellow is paid roughly
$40,000 per year while studying and the upside career potential has been
very solid.  The San Francisco LightHouse is particularly interested in
seeing qualified blind individuals succeed at this program but the deadline
is fast approaching, closing Tuesday  April 20th.

Please see some information below my signature and follow the link to 

read more and apply.

Fellowship for Leadership Development 

The Fellowship for Leadership Development is a salaried, two-year track that
combines business-focused, on-the-job experience with formal management
training.  The overall goal of the NIB Fellowship is for successful fellows
to land professional and upwardly mobile managerial positions within our
network of associated nonprofit businesses and the broader business
community.

The new Fellowship cycle will begin September 2010.  Legally blind
individuals who have an undergraduate degree or higher, work experience, and
passion for business are invited to apply.  Fellows are selected based on
academic achievement, experience, motivation, references and interviews.  

Application deadline: April 20, 2010.

Already eight fellows have completed the Fellowship since 2003 and have
moved to management jobs, gaining financial independence and, as business
leaders, have added value at all levels of the workplace and society. The
current four fellows, who will complete in April 2010, are on the path to
achieve the same success.  NIB expects to see more people who are blind in
upper-level management and leadership positions, both within NIB's network
and in the broader business community.
