Please find below a job opportunity from Blind Industries and Services of
Maryland.  Please distribute widely to your networks.



We at Blind Industries and Services of Maryland (BISM) are very excited to
offer an entirely new 4-week program this summer!



The STAR (students Training in Advocacy and Responsibility) Program is a
4-week, fully residential program that aids blind and low vision students
in developing a true understanding of the career choices available to them.
Through an experiential learning approach, we will be exposing students to
a new industry each week, exploring the career options within the industry,
attending job site tours, and completing real-life tasks and activities in
that profession. The industries covered during the program are Education,
Engineering, Hospitality, and Business. Some activities and areas of focus
include 3D printing, hotel management, glass blowing, and business creation.



As a potential staffer in the STAR Program, your role will be to serve as a
leader and role model, all while having fun as we explore Baltimore,
Washington DC, and Houston, Texas. Participants and staffers in the program
will be traveling to the National Federation of the Blind’s National
Convention in Houston, Texas during the week of July 1st as well. We are
looking for enthusiastic, positively-minded, caring people to work and make
a  positive difference in the lives of blind teens.



Applications are to be completed and submitted by April 15. Interviews will
be conducted via telephone and are anticipated to take place in the
beginning of May.  If selected to work in STAR, you will be asked to give
BISM permission to perform a comprehensive background check as well.

   (you do not need to reside in Maryland to apply as a staffer)
   - Program Dates: June 18 to July 15 (including weekends)
   - Staff Training: June 13 to June 18

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is
not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back
