<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On behalf of Dr. Bernice Davis, Acting Executive Director, New Jersey
Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please see below for an announcement from the State Employment and
Training
Commission (SETC) on the publication of the DRAFT New Jersey Combined State
Plan, available for public comment until March 22, 2018. Directions on
submitting comments to the SETC are attached, and where to find the DRAFT
New
Jersey Combined State Plan is found in the email below.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>While the public is invited to comment on the entire document, and
there
are references to CBVI throughout the document, for those looking to read
and
provide feedback on the CBVI-specific content, CBVI's section can largely be
found on pages 268-322.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please note, this is a very large document, representing the entire
state
workforce system. Depending on your network connection speed, it may take
several moments for the document to load on your computer or mobile
device.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Accessibility guidance:</DIV>
<DIV>- JAWS users should save the PDF to their computer, and open it with
Adobe
Reader instead of reading it in the web browser. Ensure that accessibility
options within Adobe are set for screen readers (options found under the
Edit
menu, Accessibility, Setup Assistant).</DIV>
<DIV>- JAWS users (versions 16 and later) can also use the JAWS OCR feature
if
you get the "blank page" notification when attempting to read the PDF (use
the
INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, D command to recognize PDF documents)</DIV>
<DIV>- The PDF is also accessible using VoiceOver on apple devices.</DIV>
