Subject: FW: Employment Mentoring Opportunity for College Students who are
Blind

 

Do you know a college student graduating next year who is legally (or
totally) blind? The National Research and Training Center on Blindness and
Low Vision (NRTC) is pairing students nationwide with mentors who are also
legally blind and working in a similar field of interest.  Opportunities
include face-to-face mentoring, job shadowing, and networking.  We offer
career preparation resources and student incentives to participate.
Students must be under age 35 and should sign up by December 2013.
Professionals who are blind and interested in serving as mentors are also
encouraged to apply. For more info, visit http://tiny.cc/mentoring-project.
For questions, contact Jamie O'Mally at nrtc2 at colled.msstate.edu, or call
662-325-2001 or toll free at1-800-675-7782.  Please share this information
with anyone you think may be interested! 

 

Thank you,
